Insights on the dynamic behavior of protein disulfide isomerase in the solution environment through the SAXS technique.

Unlabelled: The dynamic behavior of Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) in an aqueous solution environment under physiologically active pH has been experimentally verified in this study using Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) technique. The structural mechanism of dimerization for full-length PDI molecules and co-complex with two renowned substrates has been comprehensively discussed. The structure models obtained from the SAXS data of PDI purified from bovine liver display behavior duality between unaccompanied-enzyme and after engaged with substrates.

Elucidation of escitalopram oxalate and related antidepressants as putative inhibitors of PTP4A3/PRL-3 protein in hepatocellular carcinoma: A multi-computational investigation.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) persists to be one of the most devastating and deadliest malignancies globally. Recent research into the molecular signaling networks entailed in many malignancies has given some prominent insights that can be leveraged to create molecular therapeutics for combating HCC. Therefore, in the current communication, an in-silico drug repurposing approach has been employed to target the function of PTP4A3/PRL-3 protein in HCC using antidepressants: Fluoxetine hydrochloride, Citalopram, Amitriptyline, Imipramine, and Escitalopram oxalate as the desired ligands.

Molecular docking and simulation of IcaC protein as O-succinyltransferase function in biofilm formation.

Intercellular adhesion (IcaADBC) operon is necessary for PNAG (Polyβ-1,6-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) biosynthesis of biofilm formation in . IcaC protein has a wide range of functions in terms of growth phase variation, migration, transposon insertion, PNAG modification, biofilm formation. Unusual TTTA signature motifs were identified from nucleotide sequence.
