How to define ‘Moral Realism’
Moral realism is the doctrine that some propositions asserting that some action is ‘morally’ good (obligatory, bad, or wrong) are true. This paper examines three different definitions of what it is for an action to be ‘morally’ good (with corresponding definitions for ‘morally’ obligatory, bad, or wrong) which would make moral realism a clear and plausible view. The first defines ‘morally good ...
متن کاملPtCl2(phen) disrupts the metal ions binding to amyloid-β peptide.
Platinum phenanthroline complexes have been found to inhibit Aβ aggregation and reduce Aβ caused neurotoxicity. Our previous results revealed the synergistic roles of phenanthroline ligand and Pt(ii) coordination in the inhibition of Aβ aggregation. In this work, the reactions of PtCl2(phen) with metal bound Aβ complexes were investigated. HPLC results show that the copper coordination decrease...
متن کاملMetal Chelator Decreases Alzheimer β-Amyloid Plaques
five CQ-treated mice, and two showed no measurable Alzheimer -Amyloid Plaques A in the pellet fraction and no detectable A pathology by immunocytochemistry. The authors then examined the effects of a higher dose (30 mg/kg/d) for 9 weeks in older 21-month-old mice (n ϭ 20) as compared to Transgenic mice developing -amyloid (A) plaques sham-fed mice (n ϭ 19). This resulted in a 41% decrease ...
متن کاملA Robust and Efficient Production and Purification Procedure of Recombinant Alzheimers Disease Methionine-Modified Amyloid-β Peptides
An improved production and purification method for Alzheimer's disease related methionine-modified amyloid-β 1-40 and 1-42 peptides is proposed, taking advantage of the formation of inclusion body in Escherichia coli. A Thioflavin-S assay was set-up to evaluate inclusion body formation during growth and optimize culture conditions for amyloid-β peptides production. A simple and fast purificatio...
متن کاملHow do metal ions direct ribozyme folding?
Ribozymes, which carry out phosphoryl-transfer reactions, often require Mg(2+) ions for catalytic activity. The correct folding of the active site and ribozyme tertiary structure is also regulated by metal ions in a manner that is not fully understood. Here we employ coarse-grained molecular simulations to show that individual structural elements of the group I ribozyme from the bacterium Azoar...
