Codon usage is the selective and nonrandom use of synonymous codons by an organism to
encode the amino acids in the genes for its proteins. During the last few years, a large …

Injectable biomimetic hydrogels have great potential for use in regenerative medicine as
cellular delivery vectors. However, they can suffer from issues relating to hypoxia, including …

Translation processes in plants are very similar to those in other eukaryotic organisms and
can in general be explained with the scanning model. Particularly among plant viruses …

The structural elements which afford molecular recognition and discrimination events in
macromol-ecule-ligand interactions dictate the basis of protein function. Nature has evolved …

Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated as mediator in a variety of physiological functions,
including neurotransmission, platelet aggregation, macrophage function, and vasodilation …

Circular Dichroism (CD) is a spectroscopic technique widely used for the evaluation of the
conformation and stability of proteins in several environmental conditions like temperature …

The efficiency of heterologous protein production in Escherichia coli (E. coli) can be
diminished by biased codon usage. Approaches normally used to overcome this problem …

Time courses for the autooxidation of native and mutant sperm whale and pig myoglobins
were measured at 37 degrees C in the presence of catalase and superoxide dismutase. In …

Protein surface hydration is fundamental to its structure and activity. We report here the
direct mapping of global hydration dynamics around a protein in its native and molten …

This Handbook on Metalloproteins focuses on the available structural information of proteins
and their metal ion coordination spheres. It centers on the metal ions indispensable for life …
