Background Acne vulgaris is a common cutaneous disorder. Diet and metabolism, specifically
glycemic content and dairy, influence hormones such as insulin, insulin-like growth factor …

Background An accurate rendering of interior surfaces can facilitate the analysis of mechanisms
at atomic-level detail, such as the transport of substrates in the ammonia channel. In …

It is generally believed that the gag gene product of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)
is processed into several core proteins by a virus-specific protease. We used deletion …

The factors contributing to selective motoneuron loss in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
remain undefined. To investigate whether calcium‐binding proteins contribute to selective …

… We carried out a re-evaluation of the steric map of glycine (Figure 2B) by following the
methodology of Ho and co-workers [3]. For each interaction in the glycine backbone, we consider …

What determines the shape of the allowed regions in the Ramachandran plot? Although
Ramachandran explained these regions in terms of 1–4 hard‐sphere repulsions, there are …

Intracellular calcium is increased in vulnerable spinal motoneurons in immune‐mediated as
well as transgenic models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To determine whether …

… In this study, Ho and Dill show that, by chopping a protein chain into peptide pieces, then
simulating the pieces in molecular dynamics, they can identify those peptide fragments that …

Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules play a crucial role in immunity
by capturing peptides for presentation to T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. The peptide …

The structures of the β-sheets and the β-ribbons have been analysed using high-resolution
protein structure data. Systematic asymmetries measured in both parallel and antiparallel β-…
