Ultrafast structural dynamics of carbon–carbon single-bond rotation in transient radical species at non-equilibrium by Seonggon Lee, Hosung Ki, Donghwan Im, Jungmin Kim, Yunbeom Lee, Jain Gu, Alekos Segalina, Jun Heo, Yongjun Cha, Kyung Won Lee, Doyeong Kim, Jeongho Kim, Rory Ma, Jae Hyuk Lee, Hyotcherl Ihee

“…Here, we employ femtosecond time-resolved X-ray liquidography to visualize the rotational isomerization between anti and gauche conformers of tetrafluoroiodoethyl radical (C2F4I•) and 1,2-tetrafluorodiiodoethane (C2F4I2), simultaneously. The TRXL data captures perturbations in conformer ratios and structures of each reacting species, revealing that the rotational isomerization of C2F4I• and C2F4I2 follows anti-to-gauche and gauche-to-anti paths with time constants of 1.2 ps and 26 ps, respectively. …”

A structural genomics approach to investigate Dystrophin mutations and their impact on the molecular pathways of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by Abdelbaset Mohamed Elasbali, Farah Anjum, Osama A. AlKhamees, Waleed Abu Al-Soud, Mohd Adnan, Anas Shamsi, Md. Imtaiyaz Hassan

“…BackgroundDystrophin is a key protein encoded by the DMD gene, serves as a scaffold linking the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix that plays a critical role in muscle contraction, relaxation, and structural integrity. Mutations, particularly single-point amino acid substitutions, can lead to dysfunctional Dystrophin, causing muscular dystrophies, with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) being the most severe form.ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of 184 single-point amino acid substitutions on the structure and function of Dystrophin using computational approaches.MethodsMany computational tools were used to predict the impact of amino acid substitutions on protein stability, solubility, and function. …”
