PSC's Bridges Helps Scientists Understand Monkey Protein that Confers Immunity to HIV HPCwire
Angela Gronenborn of Pitt and Tatyana Polenova of Delaware used a lab technique called nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to study which parts of the virus's capsid protein, called CA, are affected when TRIM5α is present. NMR can tell what parts of the ...

Journal of Virology
Importantly, in addition to gRNA incorporation, this basic region (KNKEK) at the N terminus of the nucleocapsid protein is crucial for the onset of reverse transcription. Mutations that change the positive charge of the region to a negative one ...

[KPWU blog] Find salt bridges quickly using VMD
Find salt bridges quickly using VMD
My colleagues asked me to know if they can use PyMol to quickly find information of salt bridges in their working proteins. It seems there is no simple pymol script to do such purpose (at least I can’t find it). I tried writing a shell scripts to extract coordinates from all negative (Glu, Asp) and http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kpwu.wordpress.com&blog=76132&post=314&subd=kpwu&ref=&feed=1
