Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
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 ...

Computing three-dimensional densities from force densities improves statistical efficiency [PDF]
The extraction of inhomogeneous 3-dimensional densities around tagged solutes from molecular simulations is known to have a very high computational cost because this is traditionally performed by collecting histograms, with each discrete voxel in three-dimensional space needing to be visited significantly. This paper presents an extension of a previous

Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are important in the innate immune system. This study explores the zinc‐binding ability of the TLR2 TIR domain (TLR2TIR). We found that TLR2TIR binds zinc with nanomolar affinity through its cysteine residues. Two of them, C673 and C713, are vital for receptor activation, indicating that zinc may play a role in initiating ...

Why solvent response contributions to solvation free energies are compatible with Ben-Naim's theorem [PDF]
We resolve a seeming paradox arising from a common misinterpretation of Ben-Naim's theorem, which rests on a pairwise decomposition of the Hamiltonian of a molecular solute/solvent system into pairwise solute-solvent and solvent-solvent interactions. According to this theorem, also the solvation entropy can be decomposed into a solute-solute term and a

Effect of extraction methods on physicochemical, nutritional, antinutritional, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) seed kernel oil [PDF]
The effect of three different extraction methods, namely supercritical CO2, soxhlet and solvent methods on the yield, efficiency, physico-chemical properties, nutritional, anti-nutritional composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of moringa (
