1. Photosynthetic water oxidation : the function of two extrinsic proteins
Abstract : The solar energy accumulated by photosynthesis over billions of years is the sole source of energy available on Earth. Photosystem II (PSII) uses the sunlight to split water, an energetically unfavorable reaction where electrons and protons are extracted from water and oxygen is released as a by-product. READ MORE

2. Amyloid Proteins in Neurodegenerative Disease – Role of Extrinsic Modifiers
Abstract : ABSTRACT Self-assembly of disease-associated proteins into fibrillar homopolymers, so-called “amyloid fibrils” is a pathological hallmark of several debilitating human disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). AD and PD are associated with the formation of amyloid fibrils from the proteins amyloid-β (Aβ) and α-syn (α-syn), in the extracellular and intracellular space, respectively. READ MORE

3. Nucleotide-binding Proteins in the Plant Thylakoid Membrane
Abstract : Life on Earth is dependent on the oxygen produced through photosynthesis. The thylakoid membrane is the site for the light-driven reactions of photosynthesis, which oxidize water and supply energy in the form of ATP, mainly for carbon fixation. The utilization of ATP in the lumenal space of the thylakoid has not been considered in the past. READ MORE

4. Co-assembly of proteins and lipids : From lipodiscs to amyloid aggregates
Abstract : Assemblies of different molecules is a prevalent phenomenon in nature, and crucial in biological life. Most of the biological assemblies are co-assembledcomposites, made up from several different components, either of thesame biomolecular type or a combination of different ones. READ MORE

5. Regulation of midbrain dopaminergic neuron development by Wnts, sFRPs and bHLH proteins
Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder. The main pathology is characterized by progressive degeneration of the dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra leading to loss of striatal dopamine innervation. The knowledge about the fundamental mechanisms behind the degenerative process has been limited. READ MORE
