Dental pellicle formation starts instantaneously after oral hygiene due to the adsorption of salivary proteins all orally exposed surfaces. The acts as a physiological mediator, protects tooth surface from mechanical damages and reduces acid-induced enamel demineralization. aim this pilot study is identify characterize individual proteomic profiles initial formed on dental compare with corresponding saliva analyze specific patterns occurring during formation.The 3-min five subjects in situ...

The use of dental restorative materials is a routine task in clinical dentistry. Upon exposure to the oral cavity, continuous adsorption salivary proteins and other macromolecules all surfaces occurs, representing first step biofilm formation. Different physico-chemical properties substrate potentially influence composition initial biofilm, termed pellicle. This study aimed at characterizing comparing individual proteomic 3-min pellicle formed on bovine enamel six materials.After chemical...

Abstract Despite impressive advances in melanoma-directed immunotherapies, resistance is common and many patients still succumb to metastatic disease. In this context, harnessing natural killer (NK) cells, which have thus far been sidelined the development of melanoma immunotherapy, could provide therapeutic benefits for cancer treatment. To identify molecular determinants NK cell–mediated killing (NKmK), we quantified NK-cell cytotoxicity against a panel genetically diverse cell lines...

Members of the 14-3-3 domain family have important functions as adapter domains. Via an amphipathic groove on their protein surface they typically bind to disordered C-terminals other proteins. Importantly, binding partners domains usually contain a phosphorylated serine or threonine residue at interface and possess one three different sequence motifs. Binding respective unphosphorylated versions peptides is strongly disfavored. There wealth structural thermodynamic data available for forms...

PSD-95/discs-large/ZO-1 (PDZ) domains form a large family of adaptor proteins that bind to the C-terminal tails their binding partner proteins. Via extensive molecular dynamics simulations and alchemical free energy calculations, we characterized modi phosphorylated unphosphorylated EQVSAV peptides EQVEAV phosphate mimic hPTP1E PDZ2 MAGI1 PDZ1 domains. The reproduced well-known characteristics such as tight coordination peptidic carboxyl tail pronounced hydrogen bonding between peptide...
