Structure-Based Predictive Models for Allosteric Hot Spots

In allostery, a binding event at one site in a protein modulates the behavior of a distant site. Identifying residues that relay the signal between sites remains a challenge. We have developed predictive models using support-vector machines, a widely used machine-learning method. The training data set consisted of residues classified as either hotspots or non-hotspots based on experimental char...

Hot Spots for Allosteric Regulation on Protein Surfaces

Recent work indicates a general architecture for proteins in which sparse networks of physically contiguous and coevolving amino acids underlie basic aspects of structure and function. These networks, termed sectors, are spatially organized such that active sites are linked to many surface sites distributed throughout the structure. Using the metabolic enzyme dihydrofolate reductase as a model ...

Dendritic Cell-Based Vaccine Efficacy: Aiming for Hot Spots

Many approaches for cancer immunotherapy have targeted dendritic cells (DCs), directly or indirectly, for the induction of antitumor immune responses. DC-based vaccines have been developed using a wide variety of ex vivo DC culture conditions, antigen (Ag) source and loading strategies, maturation agents, and routes of vaccination. Adjuvants are used to activate innate immune cells at the vacci...

Hunger Hot Spots

September 20 07 During the 30 minutes it will take you to read this article, 360 preschool children will die of hunger and malnutrition. Twelve a minute, around the clock; more than six million a year. But that is only the tip of the proverbial and ugly iceberg. One in four preschoolers in developing countries suffers from hunger and nutritional deficiencies. These children do not grow to their...

Identifying Malaria Hot Spots

A century ago, malaria was prevalent across much of the inhabited world. With improvements in housing, environmental management, access to antimalarial drugs (quinine, followed by chloroquine), and use of the insecticide DDT, malaria was driven from Europe, North America, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Building on these early successes, the World Health Organization launched the f...
