Preface of Special Issue “Protein-Ligand Interactions”

When we consider investigating function of macromole-cules, it is hardly possible to draw an experiment map without taking interactions of other molecules (ligands) into account, whether they could be metal ion, ATP, hormone, carbohydrate, lipid, nucleic acid, DNA, RNA, peptide and protein. In other words, no biological function can be elucidated without molecular interactions. Therefore, the s...

Special issue: Regulation of lipid metabolism in yeast.

The complexity and dynamic nature of the “lipidome” of eukaryotic cells are increasingly apparent. Taking into account the diversity within many lipid classes created by variability in such factors as acyl chain substitutions, degree of desaturation, hydroxylation, and phosphorylation, the number of molecular species in eukaryotic cells exceeds one thousand. Such estimates of the diversity of t...
