Interactions of the osmolyte glycine betaine with molecular surfaces in water: thermodynamics, structural interpretation, and prediction of m-values.

Nov 2009 Noncovalent self-assembly of biopolymers is driven by molecular interactions between functional groups on complementary biopolymer surfaces, replacing interactions with water. Since individually these interactions are comparable in strength to ... Read more...

Phosphorylation of photosynthetic antenna protein CP29 and photosystem II structure changes in monocotyledonous plants under environmental stresses.

18 Oct 2009 Kinetic studies of protein dephosphorylation in thylakoid membranes showed that the minor light-harvesting antenna protein CP29 could be phosphorylated in barley (C3) and maize (C4) seedlings, but not in spinach under water [Liu, W. J., et al. ... Read more...

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 inhibition: combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics studies of the inhibition mechanism of (4-phenoxyphenylsulfonyl)methylthiirane and its oxirane analogue.

18 Oct 2009 The inhibition mechanism of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) by the selective inhibitor (4-phenoxyphenylsulfonyl)methylthiirane (SB-3CT) and its oxirane analogue is investigated computationally. The inhibition mechanism involves C-H deprotonation ... Read more...
