[ 1 ] - Effects of Dimethyl Sulfoxide and Mutations on the Folding of Abeta(25-35) Peptide: Molecular Dynamics Simulations

The 25-35 fragment of the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide is a naturally occurring proteolytic by-product of its larger parent molecule that retains the amyloid characteristics and toxicity of the full length parent molecule. Aggregation of this peptide occurs rapidly in aqueous solutions and thus characterization of its folding process is very difficult. In the present study, early stages of Aβ(25–35) ...

[ 2 ] - اثر تنش شوری بر رشد، میزان پرولین، فعالیت آنزیم‌های آنتی‌اکسیدانتی گیاه شورپسند خرفه ساحلی

The effect of optimal and supra-optimal concentrations (0, 250, 500 and 750 mM) of NaCl on the growth, chlorophyll, soluble carbohydrate and proline content, ion concentrations and antioxidant enzyme defence of Sesuvium portulacastrum was studied. A significant increase in growth and tissue water content was observed in the shoots exposed to 250 mM salt. Minimum damage to the membrane in terms ...
