Structural Determinants of Transmembrane β-Barrels.
The recognition of β-barrel membrane proteins based on their sequence is more challenging than the recognition of α-helical membrane proteins. This goal could benefit from a better understanding of the physical determinants of transmembrane β-barrel structure. To that end, we first extend the IMM1 implicit membrane model in a way that allows the modeling of membrane proteins with an internal aq...
متن کاملAmyloid-β and Astrocytes Interplay in Amyloid-β Related Disorders
Amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology is known to promote chronic inflammatory responses in the brain. It was thought previously that Aβ is only associated with Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome. However, studies have shown its involvement in many other neurological disorders. The role of astrocytes in handling the excess levels of Aβ has been highlighted in the literature. Astrocytes have a distinctive...
متن کاملModeling the Aggregation Propensity and Toxicity of Amyloid-β Variants.
Protein aggregation is a hallmark of many neurodegenerative disorders. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is directly linked to deposits of amyloid-β (Aβ) derived from the amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP), and multiple experimental studies have investigated the aggregation behavior of these amyloids. The present paper reports modeling of the aggregation propensities and cell toxicities of genetic varia...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality
like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
Modeling of Platinum-Aryl Interaction with Amyloid-β Peptide.
Ligand field molecular mechanics (LFMM), density functional theory (DFT), and semiempirical PM7 methods are used to study the binding of two Pt(II)-L systems to an N-terminal fragment of the amyloid-β peptide, where L = 2,2-bipyridyl or 1,10-phenanthroline. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to explore the conformational freedom of the peptide using LFMM combined with AMBER molecular mecha...
