Structural Modeling of Human Growth Hormone Receptor using Computational Simulations and NMR Spectroscopy
Rui H, Kossiakoff AA, Im W
Biophysical Journal, Volume 104, Issue 2, pp. 117a-118a
Abstract
Much of multicellular biology depends on communication through extracellular signaling molecules that bind to membrane receptors and trigger intracellular signaling events and cell behaviors. One of the first paradigm systems for understanding how polypeptide hormones bind and activate their receptors was …

Substance P derivatives as versatile tools for specific delivery of various types of biomolecular cargo
Rizk SS, Misiura A, Paduch M, Kossiakoff AA
Bioconjug. Chem. 2012 Jan;23(1):42-6
PMID: 22175275
Abstract
The use of proteins or nucleic acids as therapeutic agents has been severely hampered by their intrinsic inability to cross the cell membrane. Moreover, common techniques for driving the delivery of macromolecules lack the ability to distinguish between healthy and …
