It is hypothesized that different ligand-induced conformational changes can explain the different interactions of nuclear receptors with regulatory proteins, resulting in specific biological activities. Understanding the mechanism of how ligands regulate cofactor interaction facilitates drug design. To investigate these ligand-induced conformational changes at the surface of proteins, we perfor...

domains, the nucleotide binding domains (NBDs), but which have evolved to couple the energy released by binding and hydrolysis of ATP to processes other than transbilayer transport. These include proteins involved in chromatin organization (13), DNA repair, telomere maintenance (15, 44), and mRNA trafficking through the nuclear pore (23). The molecular mechanism described below for ATP catalysi...

to investigate the electromagnetic interaction of molecules inside the nanotubes, first, the structure of nanotubes b16n16 was optimized with hybrid density functional theory (b3lyp) using the epr-ii basis set, then cu, cu+, cu++ were located in nanotube and we studied the total energy, band gap energy, electrical potential, changes of band gap energy in terms of total energy and dipole moment ...

human serum albumin (hsa) is the most abundant protein in the blood plasma. drug binding to hsa is crucial to study the absorption, distribution, metabolism, efficiency and bioavailability of drug molecules. in this study, isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular dynamics simulation of hsa and its complex with indometacin (im) were performed to investigate thermodynamics parameters and th...

in order to represent the potential energy function over the whole range of r, many potentialenergy functions have been proposed. in the present paper, we employ many potential energyfunctions, to use numerov method for solving the nuclear schrödinger equation for the ifmolecule, as an example of a heteronuclear diatomic molecules. then we determine thespectroscopic constants eω , e e x ω , e b...
