Selection of Arginine-Rich Anti-Gold Antibodies Engineered for Plasmonic Colloid Self-Assembly [PDF]
Antibodies are affinity proteins with a wide spectrum of applications in analytical and therapeutic biology. Proteins showing specific recognition for a chosen molecular target can be isolated and their encoding sequence identified in vitro from a large and diverse library by phage display selection. In this work, we show that this standard biochemical

Molecular dynamics studies of interactions between Arg9(nona-arginine) and a DOPC/DOPG(4:1) membrane [PDF]
It has been known that the uptake mechanisms of cell-penetrating peptides(CPPs) depend on the experimental conditions such as concentration of peptides, lipid composition, temperature, etc. In this study we investigate the temperature dependence of the penetration of Arg9s into a DOPC/DOPG(4:1) membrane using molecular dynamics(MD) simulations at two ...

Schematic illustration of the mechanism of targeted delivery of nanoparticles including 1) paracellular, 2) endolysosomal escape, 3) receptor mediated endocytosis, and 4) M cell mediated transport for non‐GI diseases by oral administration such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and brain diseases. Abstract Oral drug delivery is a promising approach

Pegylated arginine deiminase synergistically increases the cytotoxicity of gemcitabine in human pancreatic cancer. [PDF]
BackgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has proven to be one of the most chemo-resistant among all solid organ malignancies. Several mechanisms of resistance have been described, though few reports of strategies to overcome this chemo-resistance have ...

Reasons underlying certain tendencies in the data on the frequency of codon usage [PDF]
The tendencies described in this work were revealed in the course of examination of adenine and uracil distribution in the mRNA encoding sequence. The study also discusses the usage of codons occupied by the amino acid arginine in the table of the universal genetic code.

Analysis and modeling of low frequency local field oscillations in a hippocampus circuit under osmotic challenge: the possible role of arginine vasopressin circuit for hippocampal function [PDF]
Electrophysiological time series were taken simultaneously in two locations in the hippocampus of a rat brain previously described as receiving innervation from the osmosensitive vasopressinergic neurons of the hypothalamus. A hyperosmotic saline solution injection was administered during the time of the experiment.

Salt‐Compact Albumin as a New Pure Protein‐based Biomaterials: From Design to In Vivo Studies
A new class of materials built entirely of native albumin protein is designed using a simple protocol based on salt‐assisted compaction, breaking with current crosslinking strategies. This green process leads, surprisingly, to water‐insoluble handable materials with high preservation of their native protein structures and Young's modulus close to that ...
