Heat Resistant Characteristics of Major Royal Jelly Protein 1 (MRJP1) Oligomer.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Soluble royal jelly protein is a candidate factor responsible for mammiferous cell proliferation. Major royal jelly protein 1 (MRJP1), which consists of oligomeric and monomeric forms, is an abundant proliferative protein in royal jelly.

Oligomerisation Drives Internal Cavity Formation and Conformational Heterogeneity in Mixed Triton X‐100/Tyloxapol Micelles [PDF]

Small Science
Oligomeric surfactants exhibit physicochemical properties distinct from their monomeric counterparts, including lower critical micelle concentrations, yet how oligomerisation shapes the internal architecture of the micelles they form remains poorly ...

Fluorescent Property of Chitosan Oligomer and Its Application as a Metal Ion Sensor

Marine Drugs, 2017
An aqueous solution was successfully prepared using a low-molecular-weight chitosan oligomer and FITC, and its structural and fluorescent properties were observed by using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, XRD, UV-Vis, and PL spectrometry.

Anti-EFG1 2′-OMethylRNA oligomer inhibits Candida albicans filamentation and attenuates the candidiasis in Galleria mellonella

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2022
EFG1 is a central transcriptional regulator of filamentation that is an important virulence factor of Candida albicans. This study serves to assess in vivo the applicability of the anti-EFG1 2′-OMethylRNA oligomer for inhibiting C. albicans filamentation

Bacterial Cell Wall Analogue Peptides Control the Oligomeric States and Activity of the Glycopeptide Antibiotic Eremomycin: Solution NMR and Antimicrobial Studies

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
For some time, glycopeptide antibiotics have been considered the last line of defense against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, vancomycin resistance of Gram-positive bacteria is an increasingly emerging worldwide health ...

An autophagy enhancer ameliorates diabetes of human IAPP-transgenic mice through clearance of amyloidogenic oligomer

Nature Communications, 2021
We have reported that autophagy is crucial for clearance of amyloidogenic human IAPP (hIAPP) oligomer, suggesting that an autophagy enhancer could be a therapeutic modality against human diabetes with amyloid accumulation.

Enhancing Immunogenicity of a Thermostable, Efficacious SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Formulation through Oligomerization and Adjuvant Choice

Pharmaceutics, 2023
Currently deployed SARS-CoV-2 vaccines all require storage at refrigerated or sub-zero temperatures. We demonstrate that after month-long incubation at 37 °C, solubilization, and formulation with squalene-in-water emulsion adjuvant, a stabilized receptor
