Simulated Docking Predicts Putative Channels for the Transport of Long-Chain Fatty Acids in <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> by Andrew Turgeson, Lucas Morley, David Giles, Bradley Harris

“…For the <i>vc1042</i> and <i>vc1043</i> homologs, these transport channels have more structural accommodations for the many rigid unsaturated bonds of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, while the <i>vca0862</i> homolog was found to lack transport channels within the signature beta barrel of FadL proteins.…”

Mining of Thermostable Alpha-amylase Gene from Geothermal Springs using a Metagenomics Approach by Garima Chauhan, Vikas Kumar, Meghna Arya, Asha Kumari, Akriti Srivastava, Prashansa Khanna, Monica Sharma

“…Homology modeling of the amylase protein was done using the phyre2 program, which shows it belongs to the (trans) glycosidase superfamily and contains the catalytic TIM alpha/beta-barrel fold. Hence, we can conclude that geothermal springs are hotspots for the mining of industrially robust biocatalysts.…”

On the tear proteome of the house mouse (Mus musculus musculus) in relation to chemical signalling by Romana Stopkova, Petr Klempt, Barbora Kuntova, Pavel Stopka

“…MUPs and other lipocalins including odorant binding proteins (OBPs) have the capacity to selectively transport volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in their eight-stranded beta barrel, thus we have generated the tear proteome of the house mouse to detect a wider pool of proteins that may be involved in chemical signalling. …”
