The LBFGS Quasi-Newtonian Method for Molecular Modeling Prion AGAAAAGA Amyloid Fibrils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Experimental X-ray crystallography, NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy, dual polarization interferometry, etc are indeed very powerful tools to determine the 3-Dimensional structure of a protein (including the membrane protein); theoretical ...

Differential Accumulation of Misfolded Prion Strains in Natural Hosts of Prion Diseases

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), are a group of neurodegenerative protein misfolding diseases that invariably cause death.

Molecular Dynamics Studies on 3D Structures of the Hydrophobic Region PrP(109-136) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Prion diseases caused by the conversion from a soluble normal cellular prion protein into insoluble abnormally folded infectious prions, are invariably fatal and highly infectious degenerative diseases that affect a wide variety of mammalian species. The

Anti-prion activity of Brilliant Blue G. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders with no effective therapy currently available. Accumulating evidence has implicated over-activation of P2X7 ionotropic purinergic receptor (P2X7R) in the progression of neuronal loss in ...

Neuropathology of Animal Prion Diseases

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs) or prion diseases are a fatal group of infectious, inherited and spontaneous neurodegenerative diseases affecting human and animals.

Prion protein repeat expansion results in increased aggregation and reveals phenotypic variability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Mammalian prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders dependent on the prion protein PrP. Expansion of the oligopeptide repeats (ORE) found in PrP is associated with inherited prion diseases.

Adult‐Onset Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis Presenting With Subacute Cognitive Deficits

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe the case of a 41‐year‐old man diagnosed with adult‐onset subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). The patient presented with subacute progressive cognitive deficits and a neuropsychological profile indicating predominant frontoparietal dysfunction. MRI showed only mild parietal‐predominant cerebral atrophy.

Treatment of Prion Disease with Heterologous Prion Proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle, and scrapie in sheep are fatal neurodegenerative diseases for which there is no effective treatment.

Prion-induced neurotoxicity: Possible role for cell cycle activity and DNA damage response. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Protein misfolding neurodegenerative diseases arise through neurotoxicity induced by aggregation of host proteins. These conditions include Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, motor neuron disease, tauopathies and prion ...

Nanophotonic Strategies for Chiral Biosensing: Nanoparticles, Metasurfaces, Magneto‐Optical, and Quantum Approaches

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Recent advances in nanophotonics‐based chiral biosensing approaches are comprehensively reviewed, highlighting key trends, advantages, and limitations of each technology. Special attention is given to emerging strategies that exploit magneto‐optical and quantum plasmonic phenomena to enhance sensitivity down to the level of a few molecules, or even a ...
