Marine fouling is a worldwide challenge with huge damages on industrial structures, side
effects on economics of industries, and environmental and safety-related hazards. Different …

Protein lysine methylation is a distinct posttranslational modification that causes minimal
changes in the size and electrostatic status of lysine residues. Lysine methylation plays …

Conformational isomerization can be guided by weak interactions such as chalcogen
bonding (ChB) interactions. Here we report a catalytic strategy for asymmetric access to …

Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) catalyze the methyl transfer to the arginine
residues of protein substrates and are classified into three major types based on the final …

The programmed formation of hundreds of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is essential for
proper meiosis and fertility. In mice and humans, the location of these breaks is determined …

In the context of drug design, CH··· O hydrogen bonds have received little attention so far,
mostly because they are considered weak relative to other noncovalent interactions such as …

Neutral complexes containing a S··· N chalcogen bond are compared with similar systems in
which a positive charge has been added to the S-containing electron acceptor, using high …

Recent studies have demonstrated that carbon–oxygen (CH··· O) hydrogen bonds have
important roles in S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) recognition and catalysis in …

Glycyl radical enzymes (GREs) are important biological catalysts in both strict and facultative
anaerobes, playing key roles both in the human microbiota and in the environment. GREs …

The ability of neutral and charged S-compounds to form different sorts of noncovalent bonds
is examined by ab initio calculations. Neutrals are represented by CH3SH and fluoro …
