As the field of structural genomics continues to grow and new technologies are developed, novel strategies are needed to efficiently crystallize large numbers of protein targets, thus increasing… (More)
Previously we have shown that human red blood cells (RBCs) undergo a sudden change from blocking to passing through a 1.3±0.2-µm micropipette when applying an aspiration pressure of 2.3 kPa at a… (More)
The members of the PKA regulatory subunit family (PKA-R family) were analyzed by multiple sequence alignment and clustering based on phylogenetic tree construction. According to the phylogenetic… (More)
Dual specific A-kinase anchoring protein 2 (D-AKAP2) is a scaffold protein that coordinates cAMP-mediated signaling complexes by binding to type I and type II protein kinase A (PKA). While… (More)
Cost and time reduction are two of the driving forces in the development of new strategies for protein crystallization and subsequent structure determination. Here, we report the analysis of the… (More)
Like thymidylate synthase (TS) in eukaryotes, the thymidylate synthase-complementing proteins (TSCPs) are mandatory for cell survival of many prokaryotes in the absence of external sources of… (More)
Recently, the structures of two proteins belonging to the archease family, TM1083 from Thermotoga maritima and MTH1598 from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, have been solved independently by two… (More)
