Homologous recombination facilitates the exchange of genetic material between homologous DNA molecules. This crucial process requires detecting a specific homologous DNA sequence within a huge variety of heterologous sequences. The detection is mediated by RecA in E. coli, or members of its superfamily in other organisms. Here, we examine how well the RecA-DNA interaction is adjusted to its tas...

Oxime drugs translocate through the 20 Å active-site gorge of acetylcholinesterase in order to liberate the enzyme from organophosphorus compounds' (such as tabun) conjugation. Here we report bidirectional steered molecular dynamics simulations of oxime drug (Ortho-7) translocation through the gorge of tabun intoxicated enzyme, in which time dependent external forces accelerate the translocatio...

Fosmidomycin and its derivatives belong to class DOX-reductoisomerase (DXR) inhibitors. A fosmidomycin analogues library was designed with 43 analogues, their molecular interactions and binding affinities with DXR (PDB ID: 1ONP) have been studied using Glide docking, QMpolarized ligand docking (QPLD), molecular mechanics based on generalized Born/surface area (MM-GB/SA) and multi-ligand bimolec...
