Abstract

Specific electrostatics (i.e. salt-bridge) includes both local and non-local interactions that contribute to the overall stability of proteins. It has been shown that a salt-bridge could either be buried or exposed, networked or isolated, hydrogen-bonded or nonhydrogen bonded, in secondary-structure or in coil, formed by single or multiple bonds. Further it could also participates either in intra- or inter-dipole interactions with preference in orientation either for basic residue at N-terminal (orientation-I) or acidic residue at N-terminal (orientation-II). In this context SBION2 is unique in that it reports above mentioned binary items in excel format along with details on intra and inter-dipole interactions and orientations. These results are suitable for post run statistical analyses involving large datasets. Reports are also made on protein-protein interactions, intervening residue distances and general residue specific salt-bridge details. A ready to use compact supplementary table is also produced. The program runs in three alternative modes. Each mode works on any number of structure files with any number of chains at any given atomic distance of ion-pair. Thus SBION2 provides intricate details on salt-bridges and find...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
