    In-silico analysis of the structure and binding site features of an α-expansin protein from mountain papaya fruit (VpEXPA2), through molecular modeling, docking, and dynamics simulation studies

    Fruit softening is associated to cell wall modifications produced by a set of hydrolytic enzymes and proteins. Expansins are proteins with no catalytic activity, which have been associated with several process...

    Computational study enlightens the structural role of the alcohol acyltransferase DFGWG motif

    Alcohol acyltransferases (AAT) catalyze the esterification reaction of alcohols and acyl-CoA into esters in fruits and flowers. Despite the high divergence between AAT enzymes, two important and conserved moti...

    Understanding the roles of Lys33 and Arg45 in the binding-site stability of LjLTP10, an LTP related to drought stress in Lotus japonicus

    In Lotus japonicus, as in most plants, long-chain fatty acids are important components of cuticular wax, one of the principal functions of which is to act as a barrier to water loss in response to drought stress....
