Genetic Variants and Hamstring Injury in Soccer: An Association and Validation Study
(American College of Sports Medicine, 2018-02)
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association of candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with noncontact hamstring muscle injuries in elite soccer players and to create and validate a model to assess the ...
Reversible optical storage properties of nanostructured epoxy-based thermosets modified with azobenzene units
(ACS, 2011-11-22)
Azo-containing polymers are of particular interest in the design of materials for applications in optical recording. The aim of this contribution was the synthesis and characterization of optically active epoxy-based ...
Enhanced stability of photo-induced anisotropy due to intermolecular interactions in an azo-prepolymer confined in block copolymer
(Elsevier, 2013-02-08)
Many efforts in the field of azobenzene-containing polymers are concentrated on exploring new material concepts to obtain efficient and stable photo-induced anisotropy. Here, an easy approach to improve the birefringent ...
Cholesterol-dependent membrane fusion induced by the gp41 membrane-proximal external region-transmembrane domain connection suggests a mechanism for broad HIV-1 neutralization
(ASM, 2014)
The HIV-1 glycoprotein 41 promotes fusion of the viral membrane with that of the target cell. Structural, biochemical, and biophysical studies suggest that its membrane-proximal external region (MPER) may interact with the ...

Structure and immunogenicity of a peptide vaccine, including the complete HIV-1 gp41 2F5 epitope: implications for antibody recognition mechanism and immunogen design
(Elsevier, 2014-01-15)
The membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of gp41 harbors the epitope recognized by the broadly neutralizing anti-HIV 2F5 antibody, a research focus in HIV-1 vaccine development. In this work, we analyze the structure ...
The Atomic Structure of the HIV-1 gp41 Transmembrane Domain and Its Connection to the Immunogenic Membrane-proximal External Region
(Elsevier, 2015-03-18)
The membrane-proximal external region (MPER) C-terminal segment and the transmembrane domain (TMD) of gp41 are involved in HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein-mediated fusion and modulation of immune responses during viral infection. ...
The three lives of viral fusion peptides
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
Fusion peptides comprise conserved hydrophobic domains absolutely required for the fusogenic activity of glycoproteins from divergent virus families. After 30 years of intensive research efforts, the structures and functions ...
Molecular Recognition of the Native HIV-1 MPER Revealed by STED Microscopy of Single Virions
(Springer, 2019-01-08)
Antibodies against the Membrane-Proximal External Region (MPER) of the Env gp41 subunit neutralize HIV-1 with exceptional breadth and potency. Due to the lack of knowledge on the MPER native structure and accessibility, ...
GIBaren aurkako txertoaren bila
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2017)
HIV is the causative agent of one of the most lethal pandemics in human history, AIDS. Although in recent years HAART therapy has considerably reduced death rate, new infections keep arising. Therefore, a preventive vaccine ...
