Predicting beta-turns and their types using predicted backbone dihedral angles and secondary structures (2010)
Journal Article

Background β-turns are secondary structure elements usually classified as coil. Their prediction is important, because of their role in protein folding and their frequent occurrence in protein chains. Results We have developed a novel method...

Chemical Tags Mediate the Orthogonal Self-Assembly of DNA Duplexes into Supramolecular Structures (2010)
Journal Article

A new chemical approach that achieves ordered self?assembly of biomolecules is reported. The chemical tags bis?nitrilotriacetic acid (bisNTA) and hexahistidine (His6) are attached to DNA duplexes that self?assemble into supramolecular structures whos...

DnaB proteolysis in vivo regulates oligomerization and its localization at oriC in Bacillus subtilis (2010)
Journal Article
Grainger, W. H., Machón, C., Scott, D. J., & Soultanas, P. (2010). DnaB proteolysis in vivo regulates oligomerization and its localization at oriC in Bacillus subtilis. Nucleic Acids Research, 38(9), https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkp1236

Initiation of bacterial DNA replication at oriC is mediated by primosomal proteins that act cooperatively to melt an AT-rich region where the replicative helicase is loaded prior to the assembly of the replication fork. In Bacillus subtilis, the dnaD... Read More about DnaB proteolysis in vivo regulates oligomerization and its localization at oriC in Bacillus subtilis.

RepD-mediated recruitment of PcrA helicase at the Staphylococcus aureus pC221 plasmid replication origin, oriD (2010)
Journal Article
Machόn, C., Thomson, N., Lynch, G., Scott, D. J., Thomas, C., & Soultanas, P. (2010). RepD-mediated recruitment of PcrA helicase at the Staphylococcus aureus pC221 plasmid replication origin, oriD. Nucleic Acids Research, 38(6), https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkp1153

Plasmid encoded replication initiation (Rep) proteins recruit host helicases to plasmid replication origins. Previously, we showed that RepD recruits directionally the PcrA helicase to the pC221 oriD, remains associated with it, and increases its pro...
