Single chain MHC trimer-based DNA vaccines for pathogen protection
… on the cell surface, termed single chain trimers: SCTs). SCTs are composed of an immunodominant peptide, β2m, and MHC I heavy chain covalently linked by 15-20 amino acid flexible linkers. Because SCTs are expressed as a single polypeptide chain, they do not require peptide processing, …

Refining the HIV-1 glycan shield model: dynamics of a heterogeneous envelope trimer and empirical prediction of glycan processing
… of two computationally glycosylated HIV-1 Env trimers, one uniformly glycosylated, and the other based on the heterogeneous glycosylation of a laboratory determined gp160 strain. A secondary aim was to estimate whether the type of glycan is predictable using computational techniques, since …

Dimers, Trimers and their Superpositions in a Bose-Fermi Mixture
… atoms. We examine the formation of dimers and trimers in a balanced, thermal mixture and their evolution into strongly interacting Bose polarons with hybridized dimer and trimer character when we instead immerse an impurity concentration of K into a dense quantum bath of Na. We report a novel …

The crystal stucture determination of low and high temperature phases of Tris (Ethylene Terephthalate)
… cell; d(obs) = 1.367 g/cm 3 . The HTP trimer crystals were formed from a hot solution of tris(ethylene terephthalate) and Dekalin above 1200C. These crystals were found to have a density of 1.321 g/cm 3 and a hexagonal unit cell of a = b = 15.37A ° , c = 20.78A° and y = 1200 ; Z = 6 …

Heterotrimeric coiled-coils as viral fusion protein mimics
… viability of designing a self-assembling heterotrimeric coiled-coil by sole manipulation of the hydrophobic core. This technique utilized a steric matching approach whereby one large side chain packed against two small ones. An added benefit to this type of control is that it allowed the freedom …

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Studies of Cluster Diffusion in a Highly Mismatched system:Copper on Silver(111)
… and growth of Cu on Ag(111) reveal that trimers, once formed, have significantly higher mobilities than either atoms or dimers. While transient, this mobility makes trimers the dominant contributor to mass transport at temperatures allowing trimer formation (T ≥ 24 K). Using the STM …

Aktivitätsregulierung der humanen DNS-Topoisomerase I durch den RNS-Spleißfaktor PSF/p54nrb
… Hierbei wurde aus A431-Zellextrakten ein Trimer aus Topoisomerase I und zwei weiteren Proteinen koisoliert. Nach Identifizierung der zwei weiteren Proteine als Spleißfaktor PSF und dessen kleinerem Homolog, dem nukleären Protein p54nrb, wurden deren Auswirkungen auf die Aktivität der …

Methods and Applications of Computational Design in Multiple States
… to practical design problems; a peudosymmetric trimer used as a building block for assembling large, closed, cage-like nanostructures; and re-engineering a natural enzyme to remove allosteric dependence on double-stranded DNA for activity. In both cases I started by applying simple computational …

Synthetic, Sulfated, Lignin-Based Anticoagulants
… Our search identified a sulfated benzofuran trimer (a mimic of β-5 type linkage found in lignins) as a potent inhibitor of factor XIa. Surprisingly, this inhibitor did not compete with heparin. A plausible binding site in the A3 domain of factor XIa was proposed by using molecular modeling …

Neutralizing antibody responses in HIV dual infection: lessons for vaccine design
… global health priority. Stabilized, soluble trimers that mimic the native functional HIV trimer have been developed that elicit strain-specific neutralizing HIV antibodies in animal models, and are currently being evaluated in several human clinical trials. Identifying whether multiple …

Investigating self-assembly of linked oligomeric PPV-based materials
… altered amine and carboxylic acid alkoxy-linked trimer BEH-PPV in contrast to the bulky side chain tert-butyl trimer. The study of regio-regular (RR) and regio-random (RRa) alkoxy-linked pentamer poly(2-methoxy-5-(2’-ethylhexyloxy)-p-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV) illustrates the limited effect of …

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF A NEURONAL GLUTAMATE TRANSPORTER
<p>Glutamate transporters have a homotrimeric subunit structure with a large central water-filled cavity that extends partially into the plane of the lipid bilayer (Yernool et al., 2004). In addition to uptake of glutamate, the transporters also mediate a chloride conductance that is gated by Na+ …

Automated Synthesis of Duplex-Forming Recognition-Encoded Oligomers
… by SPS. In the Hunter group, an oligotriazole trimer equipped with benzoic acid and phenol recognition units was previously replicated via covalent template-directed synthesis, but folding of the backbone led to significant side-reactions. Here, attempts were made towards a new, more rigid …

Role of envelope compactness and glycosylation in HIV-1 resistance to neutralising antibody responses
… before CD4-binding by destabilising the closed trimer structure. From these data, we hypothesized that the neutralisation resistance of 253-11 was due to an unusually tight, compact pre-fusion Env trimer that resists transient changes to the open conformation. The open conformation frequently …

HIV entry : a biophysical and mutational analysis of gp41-mediated membrane fusion and its inhibition
… subunits, gpl20 and gp41, that associate as a trimer on the virion surface. Once gp 120 contacts the target cell, gp41 undergoes extensive conformational changes to mediate fusion of viral and cellular membranes. First, a short hydrophobic stretch of residues at the gp4 1 N-terminus insert into …
