Candida albicans is an opportunist human pathogen.Its invasion into human tissue depends on its hyphal growth.Research shows many external signals triggers the process.One of this is alkaline pH that
Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional phosphorylated glycoprotein and it is involved in a broad range of functions in both physiological and pathological processes.
Alzheimer disease has been defined as Type 3 Diabetes due to their shared metabolic profiles.As well as our previously research results of Alzheimers disease and othe neurodegenerative diseases, syste
The essential bacterial protein FtsZ is a guanosine triphosphatase that self-assembles into a structure at the division site termed the "Z ring".During cytokinesis, the Z ring exerts a constrictive fo
One key question in signal transduction is how the signal is relayed from the outer leaflet of a cellular membrane to the inner leaflet.Using a simulation model, a mechanism for the mediation of signa
Quorum sensing system is widely used by bacteria to control behaviors in response to the cell density fluctuation.Several small diffusible molecules named autoinducers act as signal molecules in such
Electrostatic interaction is perhaps the most important interaction in biomolecules, but so far the molecular force fields widely used to describe protein systems lack the polarization effect.
