Abstract

The solution structure of the Cu(I) form of the rusticyanin from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans has been calculated from a total of 1979 distance and dihedral angle constraints derived from 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectra. The structures reveal two beta-sheets, one of six strands and one of seven strands that are tightly packed in a beta-barrel or beta-sandwich arrangement, and a short helix that extends on the outside of one of the sheets to form a second hydrophobic core. The copper coordination sphere is composed of the standard type I ligands (His2CysMet) in a distorted tetrahedral arrangement. The copper-binding site is located within a hydrophobic region at one end of the molecule, surrounded by a number of aromatic rings and hydrophobic residues. This configuration probably contributes to the acid stability of the copper site, since close association of the aromatic rings with the histidine ligands would sterically hinder their dissociation from the copper. An electrostatic analysis based on a comparison of the structures of rusticyanin and French bean plastocyanin shows that factors determining the high redox potential of rusticyanin include contributions from charged side-chains and from the disposition of backbone peptide dipo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
