  2. 1. Viperin vs. tick-borne encephalitis virus : mechanism of a potent antiviral protein

    Author : Kirstin Vonderstein; Anna Överby Wernstedt; Magnus Evander; Sonja Best; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tick-borne encephalitis virus; TBEV; type-I interferon; IFN; Interferon-stimulated gene; ISG; viperin; GBF1; CIAO1; antiviral protein; genome replication; particle release; capsid;

    Abstract : Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a very important virus medically, causing mild or severe encephalitis often with long-lasting sequelae. Treatment of tick-borne encephalitis is limited to supportive care, and antiviral drugs are much needed.The type-I interferon (IFN) system is the first line of host defense against many viruses.

  4. 2. Capsid protein functions of enteric human adenoviruses

    Author : Anandi Rajan; Niklas Arnberg; Stefan Schwartz; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; gastroenteritis; capsid proteins; receptor; integrins; heparan sulfate; sialic acid;

    Abstract : Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) cause respiratory illnesses, epidemic conjunctivitis and infantile gastroenteritis. HAdV types 40 and 41 cause enteric infections in infants worldwide. HAdVs use various receptors for attachment onto different host cells. READ MORE

  5. 3. Exploring the Molecular Dynamics of Proteins and Viruses

    Author : Daniel Larsson; David van der Spoel; Modesto Orozco; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecular dynamics; virus dynamics; capsid dissolution; satellite tobacco necrosis virus; satellite tobacco mosaic virus; virus genome structure; gas phase protein structure; water layer; micelle embedded protein; membrane protein; Chemistry with specialization in Biophysics; Kemi med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Abstract : Knowledge about structure and dynamics of the important biological macromolecules — proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and sugars — helps to understand their function. Atomic-resolution structures of macromolecules are routinely captured with X-ray crystallography and other techniques. READ MORE

  6. 4. A Dance with Protein Assemblies : Analysis, Structure Prediction, and Design

    Author : Mads Jeppesen; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein design; protein structure prediction; virus assembly;

    Abstract : Protein assemblies are some of the most complex molecular machines in nature. They facilitate many cellular functions, from DNA replication to molecular motion, energy production, and even the production of other proteins. READ MORE

  7. 5. Computational Prediction and Analysis of Protein-Carbohydrate and Protein-Protein Interactions

    Author : Ashok Krishna Chaitanya Koppisetty; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arylsulfatase-A; Norovirus VA387; Molecular Dynamics; Saposin B; Computational Docking;

    Abstract : The structure and energetics of protein-carbohydrate and protein-protein interactions are of great interest due to their importance in many biological phenomena. Two cases of protein-carbohydrate interactions and one case of protein-protein interactions were predicted and analyzed using existing computational methods. READ MORE
