Conformational stability as a design target to control protein aggregation.
Non-native protein aggregation is a prevalent problem occurring in many biotechnological manufacturing processes and can compromise the biological activity of the target molecule or induce an undesired immune response. Additionally, some non-native aggregation mechanisms lead to amyloid fibril formation, which can be associated with debilitating diseases. For natively folded proteins, partial o...
متن کاملProtein-Protein Interactions as a Strategy towards Protein-Specific Drug Design: The Example of Ataxin-1
A main challenge for structural biologists is to understand the mechanisms that discriminate between molecular interactions and determine function. Here, we show how partner recognition of the AXH domain of the transcriptional co-regulator ataxin-1 is fine-tuned by a subtle balance between self- and hetero-associations. Ataxin-1 is the protein responsible for the hereditary spinocerebellar atax...
متن کاملDesign and evaluate alginate nanoparticles as a protein delivery system
In recent years, encapsulation of drugs and antigens in hydrogels, specifically in calcium alginate particles, is an interesting and practical technique that was developed widespread. It is well known that alginate solution, under proper conditions, can form suitable nanoparticles as a promising carrier system, for vaccine delivery. The aim of this study was to synthesis alginate nanoparticles ...
متن کاملComputational protein design as an optimization problem
Proteins are chains of simple molecules called amino acids. The three-dimensional shape of a protein and its amino acid composition define its biological function. Over millions of years, living organisms have evolved a large catalog of proteins. By exploring the space of possible amino acid sequences, protein engineering aims at similarly designing tailored proteins with specific desirable pro...
متن کاملa paradigm shift away from method-wise teaching to strategy-wise teaching: an investigation of reconstructive strategy versus communicative strategy
چکیده: هدف اصلی این مطالعه ی توصیفی تحقیقی در حقیقت تلاشی پساروش-گرا به منظور رسیدن به نتیجه ای منطقی در انتخاب مناسبترین راهکار آموزشی بر گرفته از چارچوب راهبردی مطرح شده توسط والدمر مارتن بوده که به بهترین شکل سازگار و مناسب با سامانه ی آموزشی ایران باشد. از این رو، دو راهکار آموزشی، راهکار ارتباطی و راهکار بازساختی، برای تحقیق و بررسی انتخاب شدند. صریحاً اینکه، در راستای هدف اصلی این پژوهش، ر...
