PHYLOGENETIC COMPARISON BETWEEN TYPE IX SECRETION SYSTEM (T9SS) PROTEIN COMPONENTS SUGGESTS EVIDENCE OF HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER

Phylogenetic comparison between Type IX Secretion System (T9SS) protein components suggests evidence of horizontal gene transfer

Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the major bacteria that causes periodontitis.Chronic periodontitis is a severe form of periodontal disease that ultimately leads to tooth loss.Virulence factors that contribute to periodontitis are secreted by Type IX Secretion System (T9SS).There are aspects of T9SS protein components that have yet to be characte

Organization and Dynamics of the Red Blood Cell Band 3 Anion Exchanger SLC4A1: Insights From Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have provided new insights into the organization and dynamics of the red blood cell Band 3 anion exchanger (AE1, SLC4A1).Band 3, like many solute carriers, works by an alternating access mode of transport where the protein rapidly (104/s) changes its conformation between outward and inward-facing states via a tra
