Insect juvenile hormone (JH) and its hemolymph transport protein, juvenile hormone binding protein (JHBP) play key roles in the development of many insects. However, the exact mechanism via which JH and JHBP regulates ...

Protein folding is a complex process that is mediated in the cell by molecular chaperones. Errors in protein folding can lead to aggregation of rnisfolded proteins, causing diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and ...

Elucidating folding properties of unnatural amino acids has enabled the start of function-directed design. Two types of gamma-amino acids are probed for their abilities to fold into helical secondary structure. Both ...

The galactan, a polymer of galactofuranose (Galf), is a key component of the hydrophobic cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterial species that is responsible for tuberculosis. Much remains unknown about the ...
