Abstract: Antagonistic coevolutionary relationships provide intense selection pressure which drive changes in the genotype. Predator-prey interactions have caused some venomous snakes and their predators/prey to evolve α-neurotoxin resistance through changes at the orthosteric site of nicotinic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00268976.2017.1393574
Abstract: ABSTRACT We present a simple coarse-grained model of the effective interaction for charged amino acid residues, such as Glu and Lys, in a water solvent. The free-energy profile as a function of the distance between… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/molecules23123368
Abstract: Crystallization of tetraphosphonate cavitand Tiiii[H, CH3, CH3] in the presence of positively charged amino acids, namely arginine, lysine, or histidine, afforded host-guest complex structures. The X-ray structure determination revealed that in all three structures, the… read more here.
