Impact of missense mutations in survival motor neuron protein (SMN1) leading to Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA): A computational approach.
(
Springer US
, 2018 , Article)
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by the mutations in survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1). The molecular pathology of missense mutations in SMN1 is not thoroughly investigated so far. Therefore, ...
Computational approach to unravel the impact of missense mutations of proteins (D2HGDH and IDH2) causing D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria 2.
(
Springer US
, 2018 , Article)
The 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (2-HGA) is a rare neurometabolic disorder that leads to the development of brain damage. It is classified into three categories: D-2-HGA, L-2-HGA, and combined D,L-2-HGA. The D-2-HGA includes ...
Molecular dynamics-based analyses of the structural instability and secondary structure of the fibrinogen gamma chain protein with the D356V mutation.
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2016 , Article)
Mutations in the fibrinogen gamma chain (FGG) gene have been associated with various disorders, such as dysfibrinogenemia, thrombophilia, and hypofibrinogenemia. A literature survey showed that a residue exchange in ...
A computational model to predict the structural and functional consequences of missense mutations in O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
DNA repair mechanism is a process through which the cell repairs its damaged DNA. Although there are several mechanisms involved in the DNA repair mechanisms, the direct reversal method is the simplest and does not require ...
A profound computational study to prioritize the disease-causing mutations in PRPS1 gene.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the most commonly inherited congenital neurological disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 2500 in the US. About 80 genes were found to be in association with CMT. The phosphoribosyl ...
Understanding the structure-function relationship of HPRT1 missense mutations in association with Lesch-Nyhan disease and HPRT1-related gout by in silico mutational analysis.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The nucleotide salvage pathway is used to recycle degraded nucleotides (purines and pyrimidines); one of the enzymes that helps to recycle purines is hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase 1 (HGPRT1). Therefore, ...
Computational modelling approaches as a potential platform to understand the molecular genetics association between Parkinson's and Gaucher diseases.
(
Springer
, 2018 , Article)
Gaucher's disease (GD) is a genetic disorder in which glucocerebroside accumulates in cells and specific organs. It is broadly classified into type I, type II and type III. Patients with GD are at high risk of Parkinson's ...
A computational method to characterize the missense mutations in the catalytic domain of GAA protein causing Pompe disease.
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by acid α-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency, resulting in intralysosomal accumulation of glycogen, including cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells. ...
Elucidating the role of interacting residues of the MSH2-MSH6 complex in DNA repair mechanism: A computational approach.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The DNA repair system is crucial to repair the error resulting in DNA replication. MSH2-MSH6 protein complex plays a significant role in maintaining the mismatch repair mechanism. Mutations in the interface between the two ...
A computational approach for investigating the mutational landscape of RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1) and screening inhibitors against the oncogenic E17K mutation causing breast cancer.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among females worldwide, and among the BC-associated mutations in various proteins, mutations in the RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1) remain the most ...
