The phage shock protein (PSP) envelope stress response: discovery of novel partners and evolutionary history

Bacterial phage shock protein (PSP) systems stabilize the bacterial cell membrane and protect against envelope stress. These systems have been associated with virulence, but despite their critical roles, PSP components are not well characterized …

MolEvolvR: a web-app for characterizing proteins using molecular evolution and phylogeny

Studying proteins through the lens of evolution can help identify conserved features and lineage-specific variants, and potentially, their functions. MolEvolvR (http://jravilab.org/molevolvr) is a web-app that enables researchers to run a …
