      Computational protein design: The proteus software and selected applications 

      Simonson, T.; Gaillard, T.; Mignon, D.; Schmidt Am Busch, M.; Lopes, A.; Amara, Najette; Polydorides, Savvas; Sedano, A.; Druart, Karen; Archontis, Georgios Z. (2013)
      We describe an automated procedure for protein design, implemented in a flexible software package, called Proteus. System setup and calculation of an energy matrix are done with the XPLOR modeling program and its sophisticated ...

      Two ligand-binding sites in the O2-sensing signal transducer HemAT: Implications for ligand recognition/discrimination and signaling 

      Pinakoulaki, Eftychia; Yoshimura, H.; Daskalakis, Vangelis; Yoshioka, S.; Aono, S.; Varotsis, Constantinos (2006)
      We have identified a ligand (CO) accommodation cavity in the signal transducer sensor protein HemAT (heme-based aerotactic transducer) that allows us to gain single-molecule insights into the mechanism of gas sensor proteins. ...

      Use of chiral amino acid ester-based ionic liquids as chiral selectors in CE 

      Stavrou, Ioannis J.; Kapnissi‐Christodoulou, Constantina P. (2013)
      In this study, the applicability of a chiral ionic liquid (CIL) as the sole chiral selector in CE was investigated for the first time. In particular, five amino acid ester-based CILs were synthesized and used as additives ...
