Crystal structures of human cardiac beta−myosin II S2−{Delta} provide insight into the functional role of the S2 subfragment (2006)

Blankenfeldt, Wulf, Thomae, Nicolas H., Wray, John, Gautel, Mathias, Schlichting, Ilme

Myosin II is the major component of the muscle thick filament. It consists of two N−terminal S1 subfragments (heads) connected to a long dimeric coiled−coil rod. The rod is in itself twofold...

Crystal structures of chloroperoxidase with its bound substrates and complexed with formate, acetate and nitrate (2006)

Kühnel, Karin, Blankenfeldt, Wulf, Terner, James, Schlichting, Ilme

Chloroperoxidase (CPO) is a heme−thiolate enzyme catalyzing hydrogen peroxide dependent halogenation reactions. Structural data on substrate binding have not been available so far. CPO was...

Insights into ssDNA recognition by the OB fold from a structural and thermodynamic study of Sulfolobus SSB protein

Kerr, Iain D., Wadsworth, Ross I.M., Cubeddu, Liza, Blankenfeldt, Wulf, Naismith, James H., White, Malcolm F.

Information processing pathways such as DNA replication are conserved in eukaryotes and archaea and are significantly different from those found in bacteria. Single-stranded DNA-binding (SSB)...

The structural basis of the catalytic mechanism and regulation of glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase (RmlA)

Blankenfeldt, Wulf, Asuncion, Miryam, Lam, Joseph S., Naismith, James H.

The synthesis of deoxy-thymidine di-phosphate (dTDP)–l-rhamnose, an important component of the cell wall of many microorganisms, is a target for therapeutic intervention. The first enzyme in the...

Structure and function of the phenazine biosynthetic protein PhzF from Pseudomonas fluorescens

Blankenfeldt, Wulf, Kuzin, Alexandre P., Skarina, Tatiana, Korniyenko, Yuriy, Tong, Liang, Bayer, Peter, ...

Phenazines produced by Pseudomonas and Streptomyces spp. are heterocyclic nitrogen-containing metabolites with antibiotic, antitumor, and antiparasitic activity. The antibiotic properties of...

Noncompaction of the Ventricular Myocardium Is Associated with a De Novo Mutation in the β-Myosin Heavy Chain Gene

Budde, Birgit S., Binner, Priska, Waldmüller, Stephan, Höhne, Wolfgang, Blankenfeldt, Wulf, Hassfeld, Sabine, ...

Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium (NVM) is the morphological hallmark of a rare familial or sporadic unclassified heart disease of heterogeneous origin. NVM results presumably from a...
