Two Modes of Ligand Binding in Maltose-binding Protein ofEscherichia coli: ELECTRON PARAMAGNETIC RESONANCE STUDY OF LIGAND-INDUCED GLOBAL CONFORMATIONAL CHANGES BY SITE-DIRECTED SPIN LABELING

TL;DR: The present work suggests that the B mode is nonproductive because ligands binding in this manner prevent the closure of the two domains of MBP, and, as a result, the resulting ligand-MBP complex is incapable of interacting properly with the inner membrane-associated transporter complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

The association between lower educational attainment and depression owing to shared genetic effects? Results in ~25,000 subjects.

TL;DR: An association of lower EA and MDD risk is confirmed, but this association was not because of measurable pleiotropic genetic effects, which suggests that environmental factors could be involved, for example, socioeconomic status.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Asp-96----Asn, Asp-85----Asn, and Arg-82----Gln single-site substitutions on the photocycle of bacteriorhodopsin.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Asp-96 may play a role in regulating the structure of BR and how it changes during the photocycle, but results for D96N suggest a more complex role for AsP-96 than previously suggested.
