Retinal Conformation Changes Rhodopsin's Dynamic Ensemble.
G protein-coupled receptors are vital membrane proteins that allosterically transduce biomolecular signals across the cell membrane. However, the process by which ligand binding induces protein conformation changes is not well understood biophysically. Rhodopsin, the mammalian dim-light receptor, is a unique test case for understanding these processes because of its switch-like activity; the li...
متن کاملThe Evolutionary Relationship between Microbial Rhodopsins and Metazoan Rhodopsins
Rhodopsins are photoreceptive proteins with seven-transmembrane alpha-helices and a covalently bound retinal. Based on their protein sequences, rhodopsins can be classified into microbial rhodopsins and metazoan rhodopsins. Because there is no clearly detectable sequence identity between these two groups, their evolutionary relationship was difficult to decide. Through ancestral state inference...
متن کاملAn Assessment of Dynamic Retinal Microvascular Changes in Healthy Subjects.
The retina is a highly metabolic tissue equipped with an exquisite autoregulatory mechanism. Extending the assessment of retinal function to feasibly measure autoregulatory responses in this vital tissue would advance knowledge regarding the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of many ophthalmic diseases. Pechauer et al. derived retinal angiograms without the need for intravenous dye by a...
متن کاملFrog2: Efficient 3D conformation ensemble generator for small compounds
Frog is a web tool dedicated to small compound 3D generation. Here we present the new version, Frog2, which allows the generation of conformation ensembles of small molecules starting from either 1D, 2D or 3D description of the compounds. From a compound description in one of the SMILES, SDF or mol2 formats, the server will return an ensemble of diverse conformers generated using a two stage Mo...
متن کاملDynamic ensemble for target tracking
On-line boosting is a recent breakthrough in the machine learning literature that has opened new possibilities in many diverse fields. Instead of generating a static strong classifier off-line, the classifier can be built on-the-fly on incoming samples. This has been successfully exploited in treating computer vision tasks such as tracking as a classification problem thus providing an intriguin...
