The discovery and phase transition studies of four polymorphs of 2-(phenylamino)nicotinic acid are described in this report. The four polymorphs were crystallized from solution under different conditions. All polymorphs differ in the degree of conjugation of the two aromatic rings and thus are of conformational polymorphism. Three of the four modifications have more than one conformer in the as...
Genetic and environmental factors that increase the risk of late-onset Alzheimer disease are now well recognized but the cause of variable progression rates and phenotypes of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease is largely unknown. We aimed to investigate the relationship between diverse structural assemblies of amyloid-b and rates of clinical decline in Alzheimer’s disease. Using novel biophysical met...
Polymorphism often occurs in energetic materials. Differences in the forms range from conformational changes in the molecule from one system to another, to conformational equivalents packing in different manners. These differences, whether drastic or subtle, can lead to substantial alterations in stability and performance. The authors recently reported on the crystal structures of five polymorp...
Extensive molecular dynamic simulations (approximately 240 ns) have been used to investigate the conformational behavior of PrP106-126 prion peptide in four different environments (water, dimethyl sulfoxide, hexane, and trifluoroethanol) and under both neutral and acidic conditions. The conformational polymorphism of PrP106-126 in solution observed in the simulations supports the role of this f...
Progression to androgen-independent growth of human prostate cancers may be mediated by alterations in the structure and/or expression of the androgen receptor (AR) gene. To date, mutations in the AR gene have largely been identified in hormone refractory tumors. In this study, single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis and DNA sequencing of the entire AR gene coding region was performe...
Mutation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene frequently occurs in a variety of tumors including lung, breast, gastrointestinal, and brain, as well as lymphomas-leukemias. Neuroblastoma, one of the most common solid tumors in childhood, often has amplification of the N-myc gene. We examined for mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene by single-strand conformational polymorphism using polymerase ...
AIM To identify the disease-causing mutation responsible for the presence of congenital cataract in a Chinese family. METHODS The study recruited a four-generation Chinese pedigree affected by autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC). Family history and the history of cataract extraction were recorded. Blood samples were collected from individuals for DNA extraction. Direct sequencing of...
Protein side-chain conformation is closely related to their biological functions. The side-chain prediction is a key step in protein design, protein docking and structure optimization. However, side-chain polymorphism comprehensively exists in protein as various types and has been long overlooked by side-chain prediction. But such conformational variations have not been quantitatively studied a...
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is an optical technique that measures the difference in the absorption of left and right circularly polarized light. This technique has been widely employed in the studies of nucleic acids structures and the use of it to monitor conformational polymorphism of DNA has grown tremendously in the past few decades. DNA may undergo conformational changes to B-form...
An extensive polymorphism analysis of pollen profilin, a fundamental regulator of the actin cytoskeleton dynamics, has been performed with a major focus in 3D-folding maintenance, changes in the 2-D structural elements, surface residues involved in ligands-profilin interactions and functionality, and the generation of conformational and lineal B- and T-cell epitopes variability. Our results rev...
