Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies to Probe the Impact of Oxidative Stress on the Binding of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein to Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2
(2021-04)
The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein as well as the human cell surface receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) contain several cysteine residues. These cysteine residues exist either in ...
Raman Spectroscopy as a Diagnostic Technique to Identify Cancer-Specific Biomarkers
(2021-04)
Cancer now tops heart disease as the number one cause of death in the United States and is the second leading cause of death globally, accounting for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. There is an urgent need for ...
How Does Varying Sizes and Concentrations of Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Affect the Conformation and Function of the Enzyme Escherichia Coli Prolyl-Trna Synthetase?
(2021-04)
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is a biocompatible, hydrophilic, flexible, non-toxic polyether commonly used in proteomics because it is widely regarded to be a biologically inert molecule. This includes PEG2000 (molecular ...
Investigating the Effects of Molecular Crowding on Protein Structure using Atomic Force Microscopy
(2021-04)
To explore the structure-dynamics-function relationship in proteins, most studies are usually conducted in simple salt-buffer solutions, however, the interior of a cell is densely crowded. The concentration of macromolecular ...
