BMC Structural Biology 2011, 11:49Novel non-proline-containing CypA binding motif
Identification of a region of HIV-1 Vpr which binds specifically to the host cellular factor CypA with similar affinity to full-length Vpr is the first such binding domain described that involves no proline residues.

BMC Structural Biology 2011, 11:40Central domain importance in Hsp40 structure
Deletion of the central ZFLR-CTDI domain in the Hsp40 protein Ydj1 changes the relative position of the J-domain, suggesting that interactions between these domains are important in determining the unique quaternary structure of Type I Hsp40s

BMC Structural Biology 2011, 11:36Dimerization of ice nucleation proteins
A novel beta-helical fold for the ice nucleation protein produced by Pseudomonas borealis is predicted to dimerize via the burying of solvent-exposed tyrosine ladders, dramatically increasing the ?ice-active? surface area of the protein.

Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
