A high expression pattern of minichromosome maintenance 2 (MCM2) has been observed in various cancers. MCM2 is a protein involved in the cell cycle and plays a role in cancer growth and differentiation by binding to six members of the MCM subfamily. The MCM protein family includes MCM2 through MCM7.

Circulating total insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is an established risk factor for prostate cancer. However, only a small proportion of circulating IGF-I is free or readily dissociable from IGF-binding proteins (its bioavailable form), and few studies have investigated the association of circulating free IGF-I with prostate cancer risk.

This volume describes the mechanisms which bacteria have created to secure their survival, proliferation and dissemination by subverting the actin cytoskeleton of host cells. Bacteria have developed a veritable arsenal of toxins, effector proteins and virulence factors that allow them to modify the properties of the intracellular actin cytoskeleton for their own purposes.

The melting points of the complexes were >350oC, indicating high thermal stability. Cu-Zn-containing complex showed the least binding energy against the three proteins. The bioactivity scores of the complexes were between -0.50 and 0.0. Against A549 Cu-Zn, Co-Zn and Fe-Zn containing complexes showed potential activity. Against MCF-7, Fe-Cu containing complex had IC50 of 53.5 whereas Co-Zn containing complex was active against HepG2. Three complexes were active against S. aureus in the tested range.

his study focused on finding alkaloid compounds collected from Chemfaces database that inhibit HER2 enzyme employing computational methods such as molecular docking and ADMET prediction. Out of 118 phytochemicals docked to the ATP binding site of the HER2 kinase domain, 10 alkaloid compounds exhibited higher binding affinity than the reference inhibitor and satisfied the Lipinski’s rule of five. All compounds have good pharmacokinetic properties.

Ebook "Biophysics of DNA-protein interactions: From single molecules to biological systems" would focus on the specific topic of the biophysics of DNA-protein interactions, and would include the use of new approaches, including both bulk methods as well as single molecule methods. This would make the book attractive to anyone working in the general area of DNA-protein interactions, which is of course a much wider market than just single molecule biophysicists or even biophysicists.

Ebook "The role of water in ATP hydrolysis energy transduction by protein machinery" introduces recent progress in biological energetics from ATP hydrolysis to molecular machineries. The role of water is now recognized to be essential in biological molecular energetics. Although energetics is a rather distant field to many biologists, any working models for protein machineries such as protein motors, transporters, and other enzymes must be consistent with their energetics.

In ebook "Single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy of the folding of a repeat protein" single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) spectroscopy was used to study the folding of a protein that belongs to the large and important family of repeat proteins. Cohen shows that the dynamics of the expanded conformations is likely to be very fast, suggesting a spring-like motion of the whole chain. The findings shed new light on the elasticity of structure in repeat proteins, which is related to their function in binding multiple and disparate partners.
