Bioactive Thermoresponsive Hydrogels for Neural Tissue Engineering
Traumatic injury to the central nervous system triggers cell death and deafferentation, which may activate a cascade of cellular and network disturbances. These events often result in the formation of irregularly shaped lesions comprised of necrotic tissue and/or a fluid-filled cavity. Tissue engineering represents a promising treatment strategy for the injured neural tissue. To facilitate mini...
متن کاملSequence-structure relations of biopolymers
Motivation DNA data is transcribed into single-stranded RNA, which folds into specific molecular structures. In this paper we pose the question to what extent sequence- and structure-information correlate. We view this correlation as structural semantics of sequence data that allows for a different interpretation than conventional sequence alignment. Structural semantics could enable us to iden...
متن کاملTAL effectors: function, structure, engineering and applications.
TAL effectors are proteins secreted by bacterial pathogens into plant cells, where they enter the nucleus and activate expression of individual genes. TAL effectors display a modular architecture that includes a central DNA-binding region comprising a tandem array of nearly identical repeats that are almost all 34 residues long. Residue number 13 in each TAL repeat (one of two consecutive polym...
متن کاملGlucoamylase: structure/function relationships, and protein engineering.
Glucoamylases are inverting exo-acting starch hydrolases releasing beta-glucose from the non-reducing ends of starch and related substrates. The majority of glucoamylases are multidomain enzymes consisting of a catalytic domain connected to a starch-binding domain by an O-glycosylated linker region. Three-dimensional structures have been determined of free and inhibitor complexed glucoamylases ...
