Abstract: Prediction of substrate-specific mutational hotspots for enzyme engineering is a complex and computationally intensive task. This becomes particularly challenging when the available crystal structures have no ligand, bind a distant homologue of the desired substrate,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14804
Abstract: Membrane proteins play vital roles in inside-out and outside-in signal transduction by responding to inputs that include mechanical stimuli. Mechanical gating may be mediated by the membrane or by protein(s) but evidence for the latter… read more here.
