Exploring the folding energy landscape of a series of designed consensus tetratricopeptide repeat proteins.

29 Sep 2009 Repeat proteins contain short, tandem arrays of simple structural motifs (20-40 aa). These stack together to form nonglobular structures that are stabilized by short-range interactions from residues close in primary sequence. Unlike globular ... Read more...

Molecular evolution of specific human antibody against MUC1 mucin results in improved recognition of the antigen on tumor cells.

19 Sep 2009 The MUC1 mucin is differentially expressed and glycosylated in cancer tissue as opposed to healthy tissue. Due to these differences, MUC1 is considered a potential biomarker suitable for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In a previous study, the human ... Read more...

Phylogeographic analysis reveals association of tick-borne pathogen, Anaplasma marginale, MSP1a sequences with ecological traits affecting tick vector performance.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma marginale, which is endemic worldwide, is the type species of the genus Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae). Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is the most important tick vector of A. marginale ... Read more...
