Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Predictive Capabilities of Diabetic Exchange Lists and Glycemic Index of Foods
TL;DR: It is concluded that the diabetic exchange lists more accurately predict postprandial responses to carbohydrate-containing foods eaten as part of a mixed meal than does the GI of foods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of turn and salt bridge contributions to β-hairpin stability: MD simulations of C-terminal fragment from the B1 domain of protein G
Jerry Tsai,Michael Levitt +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the beta-hairpin folds beginning at the turn, followed by hydrophobic collapse, and then hydrogen bond formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paracellular intestinal transport of six-carbon sugars is negligible in the rat
TL;DR: L-glucose seems to have a weak affinity for a D- glucose carrier and is not a marker of paracellular transport, and parACEllular transport accounts for a minimal fraction of D- Glucose uptake; this fraction is not enhanced by ingestion ofD-glUCose or chow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryo-EM structure of a group II chaperonin in the prehydrolysis ATP-bound state leading to lid closure
Junjie Zhang,Boxue Ma,Frank DiMaio,Nicholai R. Douglas,Lukasz A. Joachimiak,David Baker,Judith Frydman,Michael Levitt,Wah Chiu +8 more
TL;DR: The structure of an archaeal group II chaperonin in its prehydrolysis ATP-bound state at subnanometer resolution using single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulations of RNA base pairs in a nanodroplet reveal solvation-dependent stability
Michael T. Sykes,Michael Levitt +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that RNA base pairs have variable stability depending on their degree of solvation, and base pairs exist at a stability minimum when solvated in between 20 and 100 water molecules, the upper limit of which corresponds to the approximate number of water molecules contained in the first hydration shell.
