The hydrophobic cluster on the surface of protein is the key structural basis for the SDS-resistance of chondroitinase VhChlABC
The application of chondroitinase requires consideration of the complex microenvironment of the target. Our previous research reported a...

Hydrophobic gating in bundle-crossing ion channels: a case study of TRPV4
Transmembrane ion channels frequently regulate ion permeation by forming bundle crossing of the pore-lining helices when deactivated. The resulting...

Parkin-mediated ubiquitination inhibits BAK apoptotic activity by blocking its canonical hydrophobic groove
BAK permeabilizes the mitochondrial outer membrane, causing apoptosis. This apoptotic activity of BAK is stimulated by binding prodeath activators...

Ratio of Hydrophobic–Hydrophilic and Positive–Negative Residues at Lipid–Water-Interface Influences Surface Expression and Channel Gating of TRPV1
During evolution, TRPV1 has lost, retained or selected certain residues at Lipid–Water-Interface (LWI) and formed specific patterns there. The ratio...
