Journal ArticleDOI

The robustness of pollination networks to the loss of species and interactions: a quantitative approach incorporating pollinator behaviour.

TL;DR: Tolerance of generalized networks to species extinctions was high in the random removal scenario, with an increase in network stability if species formed new interactions, however, Anthropogenic disturbance that promote the extinction of the strongest interactors might induce a sudden collapse of pollination networks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein structure-based drug design: from docking to molecular dynamics.

TL;DR: In this review, recent advancements in applications of ligand docking tools and molecular dynamics simulations to ligand identification and optimization are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenylalanine assembly into toxic fibrils suggests amyloid etiology in phenylketonuria.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that at pathological concentrations, phenylalanine self-assembles into fibrils with amyloid-like morphology and well-ordered electron diffraction, suggesting a new amyloidsosis-like etiology for PKU.
Journal ArticleDOI

The protein folding network.

TL;DR: The conformation space of a 20 residue antiparallel beta-sheet peptide, sampled by molecular dynamics simulations, is mapped to a network and provides a basis for understanding the heterogeneity of the TS and denatured state ensemble as well as the existence of multiple pathways.
