Template-assisted synthesis of adenine-mutagenized cDNA by a retroelement protein complex

Template Assisted Layer-by-layer Fabrication of Protein Nanotubes

Template Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Antibacterial Activity of an Unsymmetrical Tridentate Schiff Base Nickel(II) Complex

Nickel(II) complex of [NiL2](ClO4)2, where L is an unsymmetrical tridentate ligand of 2-(2-aminoethyl)imino-3-butanone oximehas been synthesized by a template condensation reaction. The complex was characterized on the basis of microanalytical, spectroscopic, and other physicochemical properties. X-ray diffraction study of the complex revea...

Template assisted protein de novo design

The ultimate goal in protein de novo design is the Construction of artificial proteins exhibiting tailor-made structural and functional properties. To create nativelike macromolecules in copying nature's way has proven to be difficult because the mechanism of folding in its complexity has yet to be unravelled. In the present review we describe a conceptually different approach in protein design...

Selective Ligand Recognition by a Diversity-Generating Retroelement Variable Protein

Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) recognize novel ligands through massive protein sequence variation, a property shared uniquely with the adaptive immune response. Little is known about how recognition is achieved by DGR variable proteins. Here, we present the structure of the Bordetella bacteriophage DGR variable protein major tropism determinant (Mtd) bound to the receptor pertactin, ...

Rapid Detection of Vibrio Cholera by a Coagglutination Complex using Staphylococcus aureus Including Protein A

Introduction: Vibrio cholera is a gram-negative bacterium that causes cholera which is an acute diarrheal illness. Cholera outbreak mostly happens in hot seasons when the bacteria reproduce rapidly in water contaminated with feces. Severe diarrhea and mortality have been the prevalent symptoms of cholera which affect the hygienic status and economic features of humans during centuries. There is...
