Anisotropic metal growth on phospholipid nanodiscs via lipid bilayer expansion
Self-assembling biomolecules provide attractive templates for the preparation of metallic nanostructures. However, the intuitive transfer of the "outer shape" of the assembled macromolecules to the final metallic particle depends on the intermolecular forces among the biomolecules which compete with interactions between template molecules and the metal during metallization. The shape of the bio...
متن کاملInhibition of Cyclooxygenase Type 1 and 2 Enzyme by Aqueous Extract of Elaeagnus Angustifolia in Mice
Introduction: It has been shown that the extract of Elaeagnus angustifolia can inhibit inflammation and pain induced by formalin in mice and rats. The aim of the present study is to reach evaluations of possible cellular and molecular mechanisms of Elaeagnus angustifolia extract in reducing pain and inflammation through examining the extract ability for inhibition of cyclooxygenase (Cox) type ...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 expression and inhibition in atherothrombosis.
Arachidonic acid metabolism plays an important role in acute ischemic syndromes affecting the coronary or cerebrovascular territory, as reflected by biochemical measurements of eicosanoid biosynthesis and the results of inhibitor trials in these settings. Two cyclooxygenase (COX)-isozymes have been characterized, COX-1 and COX-2, that differ in terms of regulatory mechanisms of expression, tiss...
متن کاملStatic and dynamic properties of phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs.
Nanodiscs are phospholipid-protein complexes which are relevant to nascent high-density lipoprotein and are applicable as a drug carrier and a tool to immobilize membrane proteins. We evaluated the structure and dynamics of the nanoparticles consisting of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and fluorescence methods and...
متن کاملChapter 11 - Reconstitution of membrane proteins in phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs.
Self-assembled phospholipid bilayer Nanodiscs have become an important and versatile tool among model membrane systems to functionally reconstitute membrane proteins. Nanodiscs consist of lipid domains encased within an engineered derivative of apolipoprotein A-1 scaffold proteins, which can be tailored to yield homogeneous preparations of disks with different diameters, and with epitope tags f...
