Visualizing and Quantifying microRNA‐Induced DNA Origami Separation at the Nanoscale

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Clinically relevant miRNA biomarkers trigger the disassembly of DNA origami dimers into monomers through a toehold‐mediated strand displacement reaction. High‐speed AFM was used to visualize this reaction in real time, while solid‐state nanopore measurements quantified the populations of dimers and monomers, as well as the resulting miRNA concentration,

Role of CD4 epitopes outside the gp120-binding site during entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 [PDF]

, 1997
CD4 is the primary receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The binding site for the surface glycoprotein of HIV type 1 (HIV-1), gp120, has been mapped to the C'-C" region of domain 1 of CD4. Previously, we have shown that a mutant of rat CD4, in

Autoimmune Thyroiditis Mitigates the Effect of Metformin on Plasma Prolactin Concentration in Men with Drug-Induced Hyperprolactinemia

Pharmaceuticals
Metformin inhibits the secretory function of overactive anterior pituitary cells, including lactotropes. In women of childbearing age, this effect was absent if they had coexisting autoimmune (Hashimoto) thyroiditis.

C-reactive protein: the nexus between inflammation and protein misfolding diseases

Frontiers in Immunology
C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase protein primarily produced by hepatocytes in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines, is a widely used clinical marker for inflammation and tissue damage. In its native state, CRP exists in a stable pentameric form

A conformational change of C-reactive protein drives neutrophil extracellular trap formation in inflammation

BMC Biology
Background C-reactive protein (CRP) represents a routine diagnostic marker of inflammation. Dissociation of native pentameric CRP (pCRP) into the monomeric structure (mCRP) liberates proinflammatory features, presumably contributing to excessive immune ...

More Than a Buffer in Biochemistry: Tris as an Architect and Gatekeeper of Metal–Oxo Assembly

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, depicted as an octopus, acts as an alkoxy ligand, chelator, and structure‐directing buffer that programs polyoxometalate's speciation, nucleation, and heterometal insertion in aqueous solution. ABSTRACT Polyoxometalates (POMs, molecular metal–oxo clusters) are typically studied and applied in aqueous media, where ...
