Their results reveal how strong topological rearrangements occur in intracellular networks to handle changes in conditions.

This surprising study of the folding pathway of the three-helix bundle protein Engrailed homeodomain uses exactly the opposite approach: the protein folds and unfolds at ultra-high speeds, allowing full-blown molecular dynamics simulations of its folding pathway in real time.

Binding of an antibody to an epitope of human lysozyme that is not involved in amyloid formation inhibits aggregation in vitro by improving the overall structural cooperativity.

In this study, they analysed G-protein-coupled receptors, the chymotrypsin class of serine proteases and hemoglobins.
