Phase Transitions In An Implicit Solvent Minimal Model Of Lipids: Role Of Head-Tail Size Ratio [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We present Monte Carlo simulations under constant NVT conditions on a minimal three beads coarse grained implicit solvent model of lipid molecules, with the hydrophilic head represented by one bead and the hydrophobic tail represented by two beads. We consider two lipids, one with the head and tail bead sizes equal and the other with the tail beads ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Biomedicines, 2021 Excess inflammation and canonical BMP receptor (BMPR) signaling are coinciding hallmarks of the early stages of injury-induced endochondral heterotopic ossification (EHO), especially in the rare genetic disease fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP).

New perspective in fisheries product development: importance of seaweeds as biomass resources [PDF]
, 2013 Brown seaweeds have an important role to preserve coastal ecosystems. Brown seaweeds are also major class for aquacultured seaweeds. They contain valuable nutrients and bioactive components and some of them have not been found in terrestrial plants ...

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Effect of dipolar-angle on phospholipid assembly [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 95, 062703 (2017), 2016 We report the effect of lipid head-group dipole orientation on phase behaviour of phospholipid assembly. The work explains molecular-scale mechanism of ion-lipid, anesthetic-lipid interactions where reorientation of dipoles play important role in membrane potential modification. Molecular Dynamics simulations are performed to analyse structure-property
