The Ras enzyme mediates critical signaling pathways in cell proliferation and development by transitioning between GTP- (active) and GDP-bound (inactive) states. Many cancers are linked to specific Ras mutations affecting its conformational switching between active and inactive states. A detailed understanding of the…

Protein-protein docking is a method for predicting the protein complex structure from monomeric protein structures. Because protein structural information has been increased and the application field has been expanded to more difficult ones such as interactome prediction, a faster protein-protein docking method has be…

We present a geometry-based, sampling based method to explore conformational pathways in medium and large proteins which undergo large-scale conformational transitions. In a past work we developed a coarse-grained geometry-based method that was able to trace large-scale conformational motions in proteins using residue…

In proteins, certain amino acids may play a critical role in determining their structure and function. Examples include flexible regions which allow domain motions, and highly conserved residues on functional interfaces which play a role in binding and interaction with other proteins. Detecting these regions facilitat…

In this study, lignin recovered from a biorefinery waste stream was used to modify a clay saponite to form a lignin–clay nanohybrid. Approximately 32 wt % of lignin was associated into a lignin–clay nanohybrid, which could be well dispersed into an organophilic monomer phase. This nanohybrid was then encapsulated into…

We present an evolutionary stochastic search algorithm to obtain a discrete representation of the protein energy surface in terms of an ensemble of conformations representing local minima. This objective is of primary importance in protein structure modeling, whether the goal is to obtain a broad view of potentially d…
