TKSA-MC: A web server for rational mutation through the optimization of protein charge interactions
(2018-11-01)
The TKSAMC is a web server which calculates protein charge–charge interactions via the Tanford–Kirkwood Surface Accessibility model with the Monte Carlo method for sampling different protein protonation states. The ...
Comutation and exclusion analysis in human tumors: A tool for cancer biology studies and for rational selection of multitargeted therapeutic approaches
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2019-04)
Malignant tumors originate from somatic mutations and other genomic and epigenomic alterations, which lead to loss of control of the cellular circuitry. These alterations present patterns of co‐occurrence and mutual ...
Mutantelec: An In Silico Mutation Simulation Platform for Comparative Electrostatic Potential Profiling of Proteins
(2017)
The electrostatic potential plays a key role in many biological processes like determining the affinity of a ligand to a given protein target, and they are responsible for the catalytic activity of many enzymes. Understanding ...
L925I mutation in the Para-type sodium channel is associated with pyrethroid resistance in Triatoma infestans from the Gran Chaco region
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01)
Background: Chagas' disease is an important public health concern in Latin America. Despite intensive vector control efforts using pyrethroid insecticides, the elimination of Triatoma infestans has failed in the Gran Chaco, ...
Rational Design of Chymotrypsin Inhibitor 2 by Optimizing Non-Native Interactions
(2020-02-24)
Rational design of proteins via mutagenesis is crucial for several biotechnological applications. A significant challenge of the computational strategies used to predict optimized mutations is to understand the influence ...
