FRET-mediated quenching of BODIPY fluorescent nanoparticles by methylene blue and its application to bacterial imaging

High resolution and good signal to noise ratio is a requirement in cell imaging. However, after labelling with fluorescent entities, and besides several washing steps, there is often an unwanted fluorescent background that reduces the images…

Investigation of the Low-Populated Excited States of the HIV-1 Nucleocapsid Domain

The nucleocapsid domain (NCd), located at the C-terminus of the HIV-1 Gag protein, is involved in numerous stages of the replication cycle, such as the packaging of the viral genome and reverse transcription. It exists under different forms through…

Integrative Study of the Structural and Dynamical Properties of a KirBac3.1 Mutant: Functional Implication of a Highly Conserved Tryptophan in the Transmembrane Domain

ATP-sensitive potassium (K-ATP) channels are ubiquitously expressed on the plasma membrane of cells in several organs, including the heart, pancreas, and brain, and they govern a wide range of physiological processes. In pancreatic β-cells, K-ATP…

Biochemistry, structure, and cellular internalization of a four nanobody‐bearing Fc dimer

VHH stands for the variable regions of heavy chain only of camelid IgGs. The VHH family forms a set of interesting proteins derived from antibodies that maintain their capacity to recognize the antigen, despite their relatively small molecular…

Influence of the Sequestration Effect of CTAB on the Biofunctionalization of Gold Nanorods

Gold nanorods (GNRs) can be functionalized with multiple biomolecules allowing efficient cell targeting and delivery into specific cells. However, various issues have to be addressed prior to any clinical applications. They involve controlled…

Insights into the substrate binding mechanism of SULT1A1 through molecular dynamics with excited normal modes simulations

Sulfotransferases (SULTs) are phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes catalyzing the sulfoconjugation from the co-factor 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to a substrate. It has been previously suggested that a considerable shift of SULT…

Antitumor Activity and Mechanism of Action of Hormonotoxin, an LHRH Analog Conjugated to Dermaseptin-B2, a Multifunctional Antimicrobial Peptide

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. For patients with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer, available treatments can slow down its progression but cannot cure it. The development of innovative drugs resulting from the exploration of…

Multimolecular complexes of the phosphodiester anion with Zn( II ) or Mg( II ) and water molecules—Preliminary validations of a polarizable potential by ab initio quantum chemistry

Dimethyl phosphate (DMP−) is a model for the phosphodiester backbone of DNA, RNA, and phospholipids. It is central for the binding of divalent cations and water along the backbone of nucleic acids. Significant polarization and charge-transfer…

MicroRNA Biophysically Modulates Cardiac Action Potential by Direct Binding to Ion Channel

BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRs) play critical roles in regulation of numerous biological events, including cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmia, through a canonical RNA interference mechanism. It remains unknown whether endogenous miRs modulate…
