Beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), a bovine dairy protein, is promiscuously interacting protein that can bind multiple hydrophobic ligands.
Glucose transporters (GLUTs), expressed in all types of human cells, are responsible for the uptake sugars as primary energy source normal functions good cells and abnormal growth cancer cells. The E. coli xylose permease (XylE), a homologue GLUTs, has been investigated more thoroughly than other major facilitator proteins current literature. In this paper, we present molecular dynamics (MD) study an all-atom model system to elucidate atomistic details free-energy landscape along path...
Measuring or computing the single-channel permeability of aquaporins/aquaglyceroporins (AQPs) has long been a challenge. The measured values scatter over an order magnitude but corresponding Arrhenius activation energies converge in current literature. Osmotic flux through AQP was simulated as water forced channel by kilobar hydraulic pressure theoretically approximated single-file diffusion. In this paper, we report large scale simulations osmotic under sub M gradient three channels (the...
