Chaos of protein folding [PDF]

open access: yesThe 2011 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2011
As protein folding is a NP-complete problem, artificial intelligence tools like neural networks and genetic algorithms are used to attempt to predict the 3D shape of an amino acids sequence. Underlying these attempts, it is supposed that this folding process is predictable.

Comparing the Folds of Prions and Other Pathogenic Amyloids

open access: yesPathogens, 2018
Pathogenic amyloids are the main feature of several neurodegenerative disorders, such as Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. High resolution structures of tau paired helical filaments (PHFs), amyloid-

FDserver: A web service for protein folding research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
*Summary:* To facilitate the study of protein folding, we have developed a web service for protein folding rate and folding type prediction as well as for the calculation of a variety of topological parameters of protein structure, which is freely ...

Purification tags markedly affect self‐aggregation of CPEB3

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Although recombinant proteins are used to study protein aggregation in vitro, uncleaved tags can interfere with accurate interpretation. Our findings demonstrate that His₆‐GFP and His₁₂ tags significantly affect liquid droplet and amyloid fibril formation in the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of mouse cytoplasmic polyadenylation element‐binding ...

White-tailed deer S96 prion protein does not support stable in vitro propagation of most common CWD strains

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
PrPC variation at residue 96 (G/S) plays an important role in the epidemiology of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in exposed white-tailed deer populations.

Protein folding tames chaos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Protein folding produces characteristic and functional three-dimensional structures from unfolded polypeptides or disordered coils. The emergence of extraordinary complexity in the protein folding process poses astonishing challenges to theoretical ...

Insights into pegRNA design from editing of the cardiomyopathy‐associated phospholamban R14del mutation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) secondary structure and reverse transcriptase template length affect prime editing efficiency in correcting the phospholamban R14del cardiomyopathy‐associated mutation. Insights support the design of structurally optimized enhanced pegRNAs for precise gene therapy.

Funnels, pathways, and the energy landscape of protein folding: A synthesis [PDF]

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 1994
The understanding, and even the description of protein folding is impeded by the complexity of the process. Much of this complexity can be described and understood by taking a statistical approach to the energetics of protein conformation, that is, to ...

Mimosine functionalized gold nanoparticles (Mimo-AuNPs) suppress β-amyloid aggregation and neuronal toxicity

open access: yesBioactive Materials, 2021
Evidence suggests that increased level/aggregation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptides initiate neurodegeneration and subsequent development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). At present, there is no effective treatment for AD. In this study, we reported the effects
