HcpR of Porphyromonas gingivalis utilizes heme to bind NO
… of the iron. SAXS reveals the protein bears a structural resemblance to homology models generated from an ortholog. Promoterr studies reveal that mechanisms P. gingivalis-HcpR uses to modulate expression are novel and different than those found in E. coli and P. aeruginosa.

Applications of C₂-symmetric bis(azaferrocenes) in asymmetric copper-catalyzed reactions
… planar-chiral bis(azaferrocenes) that bear a structural resemblance to the highly versatile bis(oxazolines). These bis(azaferrocenes) have their stereogenic elements directly connected to their ligating atoms, which should help these heterocycles exert better stereodifferentiating ability when …

A study of the regulation of oestrogen receptor alpha by tissue factor in breast cancer cells
… domain of β1 integrin was identified which had structural resemblance to the EGF-1 domain of FXa responsible for binding to TF. These data suggest that exogenous TF released from stromal cells interacts with breast cancer cells resulting in the downregulation of ERa which in turn leads to the …

Plant natriuretic peptides - elucidation of the mechanisms of action
… of generating intracellular cGMP from GTP. The structural resemblance of AtWAKL10 to vertebrate NP receptors could suggest a functional homology with receptor molecules and it is conceivable that such a receptor may recognize PNPs as ligands. The characterization of the recombinant AtWAKL10 …

Molecular Level Interaction of Human Fibroblast Growth Factor-1 (hFGF-1) With Phloridzin
… Phloridzin (2-glucoside of phloretin) has structural resemblance to heparin; it is a natural antioxidant, widely known for its antidiabetic activity, besides controlling tumor growth. Phloridzin can mimic heparin and compete with it for FGF binding. This binding can be agonistic or …
