Purpose. This study quantified the expression of substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), β-endorphins (β-End), and methionine-enkephalin (Met-Enk) in human dental pulp following orthodontic intrusion. Methods.

Parallel Tempering Algorithm for Conformational Studies of Biological Molecules [PDF]
The effectiveness of a new algorithm, parallel tempering, is studied for numerical simulations of biological molecules. These molecules suffer from a rough energy landscape. The resulting slowing down in numerical simulations is overcome by the new method.

Application of Ion-Molecule Reactions to Structure Characterization and Thermochemical Property Measurements [PDF]
This thesis explores several novel applications of gas-phase ion-molecule reactions to solve analytical problems. In all cases, the application of an ion-molecule reaction to solve a specific challenge is based on a thorough understanding of the ...

ABSTRACT One of the great triumphs of mass spectrometry‐based peptide and protein characterization is the characterization of their modifications as most modifications have a characteristic mass shift. What happens when the modification does not change the mass of the peptide?

Effective Sampling in the Configurational Space by the Multicanonical-Multioverlap Algorithm [PDF]
We propose a new generalized-ensemble algorithm, which we refer to as the multicanonical-multioverlap algorithm. By utilizing a non-Boltzmann weight factor, this method realizes a random walk in the multi-dimensional, energy-overlap space and explores widely in the configurational space including specific configurations, where the overlap of a ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the levels of two sensory neuropeptides (substance P [SP] and calcitonin gene-related peptide [CGRP]) and two endogenous opioids (methionine-enkephalin [Met-Enk] and β-endorphin [β-End]) in dental pulp tissue samples subjected to ...

Evidence of Involvement of the Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide in Restless Legs Syndrome
Abstract Background Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sensory‐motor disorder characterized by an urge to move the legs, often with unpleasant sensations, particularly during rest. Current treatments include iron supplementation, dopamine agonists, and opioids, but new therapeutic approaches are needed.

The study identified dysregulated fatty acid metabolism and inflammation as contributors to physio‐cognitive decline syndrome (PCDS). Sex‐specific metabolic disruptions were noted, with altered central carbon and tyrosine metabolism more pronounced in men and glutathione pathway perturbations more evident in women.

Reconstructing the free-energy landscape of Met-enkephalin using dihedral Principal Component Analysis and Well-tempered Metadynamics [PDF]
Well-Tempered Metadynamics (WTmetaD) is an efficient method to enhance the reconstruction of the free-energy surface of proteins. WTmetaD guarantees a faster convergence in the long time limit in comparison with the standard metadynamics. It still suffers however from the same limitation, i.e.

Nitrous Oxide: Mechanism of Its Antinociceptive Action [PDF]
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an anesthetic gas known to produce an analgesic effect at sub-anesthetic concentrations. This analgesic property of N2O can be clinically exploited in a broad range of conditions where pain relief is indicated.
