Deciphering the Role of Filamin B Calponin-Homology Domain in Causing the Larsen Syndrome, Boomerang Dysplasia, and Atelosteogenesis Type I Spectrum Disorders via a Computational Approach.
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Filamins (FLN) are a family of actin-binding proteins involved in regulating the cytoskeleton and signaling phenomenon by developing a network with F-actin and FLN-binding partners. The FLN family comprises three conserved ...

(1) Aims: Diabesity, defined as diabetes occurring in the context of obesity, is a serious health problem that is associated with an increased risk of premature heart attack, stroke, and death. To date, a key challenge has ...
Molecular dynamics, residue network analysis, and cross-correlation matrix to characterize the deleterious missense mutations in GALE causing galactosemia III.
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Epimerase-deficiency galactosemia (EDG) is caused by mutations in the UDP-galactose 4'-epimerase enzyme, encoded by gene GALE. Catalyzing the last reaction in the Leloir pathway, UDP-galactose-4-epimerase catalyzes the ...
