Nanomechanics for MEMS: a structural design perspective.
Nanomechanics and structural design of MEMS are intimately tied together. As mechanical properties of hard materials are found to be strongly sample-size dependent, new criteria are in demand for size-dependent structural analysis and design of MEMS components. The paper offers a critical survey of some of the most interesting and challenging advances in nanomechanics of metals from a MEMS desi...
متن کاملA structural keystone for drug design
3D-structures of proteins and potential ligands are the cornerstones of rational drug design. The first brick to build upon is selecting a protein target and finding out whether biologically active compounds are known. Both tasks require more information than the structures themselves provide. For this purpose we have built a web resource bridging protein and ligand databases. It consists of th...
متن کاملProtein Interactions from Complexes: A Structural Perspective
By combining crystallographic information with protein-interaction data obtained through traditional experimental means, this paper determines the most appropriate method for generating protein-interaction networks that incorporate data derived from protein complexes. We propose that a combined method should be considered; in which complexes composed of five chains or less are decomposed using ...
متن کاملA structural perspective on protein-protein interactions.
Structures of macromolecular complexes are necessary for a mechanistic description of biochemical and cellular processes. They can be solved by experimental methods, such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and electron microscopy, as well as by computational protein structure prediction, docking and bioinformatics. Recent advances and applications of these methods emphasize the need for...
متن کاملCalorimetry as a tool for understanding biomolecular interactions and an aid to drug design.
The binding of two biomolecules viewed from the atomic level is highly complex. It involves the formation or removal of many individual non-covalent bonds both between the interacting molecules as well as with solvent. Currently, our understanding of the thermodynamic quantification of biomolecular interactions is somewhat naïve. ITC (isothermal titration calorimetry) provides a rapid route to ...
