Actin polymerization is stimulated by actin cross-linking protein palladin
(Portland Press Limited, 2016-02-09)The actin scaffold protein palladin regulates both normal cell migration and invasive cell motility, processes that require the co-ordinated regulation of actin dynamics. However, the potential effect of palladin on actin ... -
Actin-induced dimerization of palladin promotes actin-bundling
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2015-01)A subset of actin binding proteins is able to form crosslinks between two or more actin filaments, thus producing structures of parallel or networked bundles. These actin crosslinking proteins interact with actin through ... -
Addition of H2O and O2 to acetone and dimethylsulfoxide ligated uranyl(V) dioxocations
(American Chemical Society, 2009-03-19)Gas-phase complexes of the formula [UO2(lig)]+ (lig = acetone (aco) or dimethylsulfoxide (dmso)) were generated by electrospray ionization (ESI) and studied by tandem ion-trap mass spectrometry to determine the general ... -
Advances in structure determination by cryo-EM to unravel membrane-spanning pore formation
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018-08-20)The beta pore-forming proteins (-PFPs) are a large class of polypeptides that are produced by all Kingdoms of life to contribute to their species' own survival. Pore assembly is a sophisticated multi-step process that ... -
Advances in the use of cyclodextrins as chiral selectors in capillary electrokinetic chromatography: fundamentals and applications
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016-11)Capillary electrokinetic chromatography is generally recognized as a versatile and robust capillary electromigration technique for the separation of enantiomers. In this mode, one or more chiral selectors are added to the ... -
Affinity chromatography of glucose dehydrogenase
