Biophysical characterization and molecular phylogeny of human KIN protein 01/10/2019
Abstract The DNA/RNA-binding KIN protein was discovered in 1989, and since then, it has been found to participate in several processes, e.g., as a transcription factor in bacteria, yeasts, and plants, in immunoglobulin isotype switching, and in the repair and resolution of double-strand breaks caused by ionizing radiation. However, the complete three-dimensional structure and biophysical […]
57 Fe enrichment in mice for β-thalassaemia studies via Mössbauer spectroscopy of blood samples 01/10/2019
Abstract In this work, wild-type and heterozygous β-thalassaemic mice were enriched with 57Fe via gastrointestinal absorption to characterize in greater detail the iron complexes then identifiable via Mössbauer spectroscopy. The 57Fe enrichment method was validated and Mössbauer spectra were obtained at 80 K from blood samples from wild-type and β-thalassaemic mice at 1, 3, 6, and […]
Enzymatic activity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease in crowded solutions 01/10/2019
Abstract Cells are crowded with various macromolecules and metabolites, which affect biochemical reactions in many ways, from the diffusion of substrates to catalytic activities of enzymes. We herein investigated the proteolytic activity of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease (HIV-1 PR) under non-crowded and crowded conditions. The latter environment was mimicked with various (poly)ethylene […]
