Biological problem addressed 'Signal Induction'

The stressosome is an important sensor of environmental stresses in B. subtilis. It is formed by three protein types that form an icosahedral geometric protein complex. There are uncertanties how protein interactions take place, what the effects on the response behaviour of activation and inhibition of phosphorylation among proteins is, and what kind of proximal signal activates the stressosome in the first place. To answer these questions a computational modelling approach was developed. This ...
