Electrostatic modeling predicts the activities of orthopoxvirus complement control proteins.
Regulation of complement activation by pathogens and the host are critical for survival. Using two highly related orthopoxvirus proteins, the vaccinia and variola (smallpox) virus complement control proteins, which differ by only 11 aa, but differ 1000-fold in their ability to regulate complement activation, we investigated the role of electrostatic potential in predicting functional activity. ...

Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA. We present long time all-atommolecular dynamics simulations of the wild type (WT) and Iowa mutation of the amyloid b-protein (Ab) fragment (21-30) under confinement and crowding. T...
متن کاملModeling electrostatic effects in proteins.
Electrostatic energies provide what is perhaps the most effective tool for structure-function correlation of biological molecules. This review considers the current state of simulations of electrostatic energies in macromolecules as well as the early developments of this field. We focus on the relationship between microscopic and macroscopic models, considering the convergence problems of the m...
متن کاملControl over unfolding pathways by localizing photoisomerization events within heterosequence oligoazobenzene foldamers.
From the inside out or from the outside in? Two photoswitchable foldamers that incorporate azobenzene moieties as the energy-acceptor units have been designed. The pathway of helix unfolding can be controlled by localizing these photoinduced triggers (shown in red) either at the core (left) or at the termini (right) of the helix.
متن کاملPhotodissociation and photoisomerization pathways of the HNCN free radical
The photodissociation spectroscopy and dynamics of the HNCN free radical have been investigated by fast beam photofragment translational spectroscopy. Predissociative transitions for both the B̃ 2A8←X̃ A9 band and a higher-energy band system assigned to the C̃ 2A9←X̃ A9 band were observed. Photofragment mass distributions indicate that N2 loss is the primary dissociation pathway. Translational ener...
