Conformational Complexity of Complement Component C3
The structures of native C3 and its major fragment C3c have provided a wealth of structural insights into the central protein of the complement system. The proteolytic activation steps, generating the important fragments C3b and iC3b, are thought to induce significant conformational changes in the molecule, yielding protein molecules with distinct ...

Assessment of the Role of C3(H2O) in the Alternative Pathway
In this study we investigate the hydrolysis of C3 to C3(H2O) and its ability to initiate activation via the alternative pathway (AP) of the complement system.

The zoonotic intracellular bacterium Chlamydia psittaci causes life-threatening pneumonia in humans. During mouse lung infection, complement factor C3 and the anaphylatoxin C3a augment protection against C. psittaci by a so far unknown mechanism.

Defining the Complement Biomarker Profile of C3 Glomerulopathy [PDF]
C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) applies to a group of renal diseases defined by a specific renal biopsy finding: a dominant pattern of C3 fragment deposition on immunofluorescence. The primary pathogenic mechanism involves abnormal control of the alternative complement pathway, although a full description of the disease spectrum remains to be determined.

Role of complement C3 in diabetic nephropathy
As one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the major causes of end-stage renal disease. Complement system participates in both innate and adaptive immunities of human body. Three pathways of

Determination of the chiral coupling constants c3 and c4 in new pp and np partial-wave analyses [PDF]
As a first result of two new partial-wave analyses, one of the pp and another one of the np scattering data below 500 MeV, we report a study of the long-range chiral two-pion exchange interaction which contains the chiral coupling constants c1, c3, and c4.
