Structural and accessibility studies highlight the differential binding of clemizole to TRPC5 and TRPC6 Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 5 (T RP C5) and T RP C6 channels play critical physiological roles in various cell types. Their involvement in numerous disease progression mechanisms has led...

Docking & in-silico mutagenesis show clemizole binds TRPC5 more tightly than TRPC6 because pocket residues in TRPC5 have higher ASA/RASA (greater accessibility). Accessibility is a key lever for designing selective TRPC inhibitors. #JBSD www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

MD reveals how α-helical magainin-2 & β-sheet protegrin-1 target bacterial membranes. Electrostatic Lys/Arg contacts anchor peptides; ΔG favors protegrin-1 on POPG/POPE 3:1 and magainin-2 on POPG/POPE 1:3. Insights might help guide AMP design. #JBSD www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

HrpY protein of Ralstonia solanacearum exhibits spontaneous formation of pilus like assembly: analysis of its stability Type 3 secretory system (T3SS), a complex protein machinery has a unique virulence mechanism that involves injecting effector proteins directly into host cells. The T3SS effector proteins are trans...

Recombinant HrpY from Ralstonia solanacearum self-assembles into pilus-like tubes (86–167 nm long, ~6 nm wide). Oligomers shrug off urea/GdnHCl & 50 °C but disassemble with detergents; SDS disrupts secondary structure. New clues to T3SS needle stability. #JBSD www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Switchable tetraplex elements in the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K promoter: micro-environment dictated structural transitions of G/C rich elements We have elucidated the hnRNP K promoter as a hotspot for tetraplex-based molecular switches receptive to micro-environmental stimuli. We have characterised the structural features of four tetraplex...

G/C-rich loci in the hnRNP K promoter fold into pH/K⁺-responsive tetraplexes: G-quadruplexes repress, i-motifs activate. hnRNP K binds its own i-motif sites with Sp1, suggesting autoregulation. Ligands flip the switch. #JBSD www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Molecular modeling and simulation studies of SELEX-derived high-affinity DNA aptamers to the Ebola virus nucleoprotein Ebola viral disease (EVD) is a highly infectious and potentially fatal illness with a case fatality rate ranging from 25% to 90%. To effectively control its spread, there is a need for rapid, relia...

In Vol 43, Issue 9, In silico MD shows SELEX DNA aptamers bind Ebola NP: Apt1 KD 25 nM > Apt2 56 nM > Apt3 140 nM. Computation mirrors MST, speeding point-of-care EVD tests and showcasing in-silico/in-vitro synergy. #JBSD #MDSimulations www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Investigation of the interaction between S-isoalkyl derivatives of the thiosalicylic acid and human serum albumin S-isoalkyl derivatives of thiosalicylic acid (isopropyl-(L1), isobutyl-(L2) and isoamyl-(L3)) were selected in order to investigate the binding interaction with the human serum albumin (HSA) using ...

Spectroscopy and MD simulations reveal that S-isoalkyl thiosalicylic acid derivatives (L1–L3) bind HSA at Site I via static quenching. L3 shows the strongest, most stable interaction at Sudlow I, inducing notable conformational changes. #JBSD

Investigating the combined effect of copper, zinc, and iron ions on truncated and full-length Aβ peptides: insights from molecular dynamics simulation The truncated Aβ1 − 16 peptide containing the metal-binding domain is frequently used in in silico and experimental investigations because it is more soluble and thus more suitable for studies in s...

MD simulations show that Cu²⁺ binds strongly to His13/His14 in full-length and truncated Aβ peptides. Zn²⁺ and Fe³⁺ modulate Cu²⁺ binding and reduce aggregation tendency, especially in Aβ₁₋₁₆. Truncation & metal ion synergy shape Aβ structure. #JBSD #MDSimulations www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

From Vol 43, Issue 8 MD simulations show that MGMT mutations alter structure and binding: L84F/K125E mimics wild-type in free form, but L84F alone shows distinct interactions with PCNA/DNA and the highest binding free energy—highlighting SNP-driven conformational shifts. #JBSD #MDSimulations
