The cellular characterization of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in virus-infected cells using the receptor binding domain binding specific human monoclonal antibodies by Chan, Conrad En-Zuo, Ng, Ching-Ging, Lim, Angeline Pei-Chew, Seah, Shirley Lay-Kheng, Chye, De-Hoe, Wong, Steven Ka-Khuen, Lim, Jie-Hui, Lim, Vanessa Zi-Yun, Lai, Soak-Kuan, Wong, Pui-San, Leong, Kok-Mun, Liu, Yi-Chun, Sugrue, Richard J., Tan, Boon Huan

“…A human monoclonal antibody panel (PD4, PD5, PD7, SC23, and SC29) was isolated from the B cells of convalescent patients and used to examine the S protein in SARS-CoV-2-infected cells. While all five antibodies bound conformational-specific epitopes within SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein, only PD5, PD7, and SC23 were able to bind to the receptor binding domain (RBD). …”

Quantifying conformational changes in the TCR:pMHC-I binding interface by McMaster, B, Thorpe, CJ, Rossjohn, J, Deane, CM, Koohy, H

“…Results: In support of some case studies, we demonstrate that all complementarity determining region (CDR) loops move to a certain extent but only CDR3α and CDR3β loops modify their shape when binding pMHC-Is. …”

The role of the reticulocyte-binding-like protein homologues of Plasmodium in erythrocyte sensing and invasion by Gunalan, Karthigayan, Gao, Xiaohong, Yap, Sally Shu Lin, Huang, Ximei, Preiser, Peter Rainer

“…Two parasite protein families termed reticulocyte-binding-like protein homologues (RBL) and the erythrocyte-binding-like (EBL) protein family are conserved in all Plasmodium species and have been shown to play an important role in host cell recognition and invasion. …”

Post-polymerisation modification of surface chemical functionality and its effect on protein binding by Choong, Cleo Swee Neo, Griffiths, Jon-Paul, Luo, Baiwen, Bora, Meghali, Foord, J. S., Parker, Emily M., Moloney, Mark G.

“…Derivatisation of polystyrene by carbene insertions followed by diazonium coupling permits the introduction of diverse chemical functionality, providing access to materials with similar bulk properties, but in which surface chemical characteristics are systematically varied across a range of surface polarity, hydration and non-bonding interaction behaviour. Protein binding experiments with bovine serum albumin demonstrate that protein adhesion is dependent upon the identity of the surface chemical group, with tert-butyl, hexyl, dimethylamino, amino, and carboxyl modified systems all exhibiting higher levels of binding, while glycol, hydroxyl, and phosphonate give similar or lower levels of binding, relative to the control. …”
