Differences in pressure and temperature transitions of proteins and polymer gels

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
Pressure-driven and temperature-driven transitions of two thermoresponsive polymers, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) and poly(N-vinylisobutyramide) (pNVIBA)), in both a soluble linear polymer form and a cross-linked hydro-gel form, were examined by ...

Molecular understanding of calorimetric protein unfolding experiments

open access: yesBiophysical Reports, 2022
Testing and predicting protein stability gained importance because proteins, including antibodies, became pharmacologically relevant in viral and cancer therapies. Isothermal scanning calorimetry is the principle method to study protein stability.

Thermal Fluctuation Spectroscopy of DNA Thermal Denaturation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We have developed the technique of thermal fluctuation spectroscopy to measure the thermal fluctuations in a system. This technique is particularly useful to study the denaturation dynamics of biomolecules like DNA. Here we present a study of the thermal

Protein Denaturation Zero Entropy Temperature, and the Structure of Water Around Hydrophobic and Amphiphilic Solutes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The hydrophobic effect plays a key role in many chemical and biological processes, including protein folding. Nonetheless, a comprehensive picture of the effect of temperature on hydrophobic hydration and protein denaturation remains elusive.

Raman‐based label‐free microscopic analysis of the pancreas in living zebrafish larvae

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Forward stimulated Raman scattering (F‐SRS) and epi coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (E‐CARS) allow label‐free discrimination of distinct subcellular structures in the pancreas of living zebrafish larvae. Given the straightforward applicability, we anticipate broad implementation of Raman microscopy in other organs and across various biomedical ...

Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and biological applications of some novel Schiff base transition metal (II) complexes derived from curcumin moiety

open access: yesJournal of Saudi Chemical Society, 2021
Schiff bases are considered as privileged ligand in coordination chemistry as they easily form stable complexes with most transition metal complexes.

Feasibility of microfluidic routes to monitor protein stability as a tool for bioprocessing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
During the bioprocessing of therapeutics, proteins may become damaged leading to modifications and changes in stability. This may, as a consequence, cause serious and potentially fatal side effects when administered to patients making damage ...

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Physical properties of apoprotein B in mixed micelles with sodium deoxycholate and in a vesicle with dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1987
Apoprotein B, the major apoprotein of normal human low density lipoprotein (LDL) was solubilized with sodium deoxycholate (NaDC). The protein was recombined with the phospholipid dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) to produce a complex of DMPC-apoB (4:

Malformin A1–mediated cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells occurs through pyroptosis and autophagy

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study investigated the effects of the natural compound Malformin A1 (MA1) on the cytoskeleton that regulates cell proliferation and migration. Disruption of the cytoskeleton can impair these processes and promote cancer cell death. MA1 disrupted cytoskeletal organization, induced DNA damage, inflammation, activated autophagy, and pyroptosis ...
