Linear B-cell epitope prediction research has received a steadily growing interest ever since
the first method was developed in 1981. B-cell epitope identification with the help of an …

Urinary bladder cancer is a common malignancy, being characterized by substantial patient
mortality and management cost. Its high somatic-mutation frequency and molecular …

The purpose of this work was to construct a consensus prediction algorithm of ‘aggregation-prone’
peptides in globular proteins, combining existing tools. This allows comparison of the …

Proteins of halophilic archaea function in high-salt concentrations that inactivate or precipitate
homologous proteins from non-halophilic species. Haloadaptation and the mechanism …

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Given the link between
oxidative stress and AD, many studies focus on the identification of natural antioxidants against …

Clusterin is a heterodimeric glycoprotein (α- and β-chain), which has been described as an
extracellular molecular chaperone. In humans, clusterin is an amyloid-associated protein, co-…

Background Within the genus Streptococcus, only Streptococcus thermophilus is used as a
starter culture in food fermentations. Streptococcus macedonicus though, which belongs to …

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a major family of membrane receptors in eukaryotic
cells. They play a crucial role in the communication of a cell with the environment. Ligands …
