Proteins with H-bond packing defects are highly interactive with lipid bilayers: Implications for amyloidogenesis
(National Academy of Sciences, 2003-03-04)
We noticed that disease-related amyloidogenic proteins and especially cellular prion proteins have the highest proportion of incompletely desolvated backbone H bonds among soluble proteins. Such bonds are vulnerable to ...
Purification and identification of novel antioxidant peptides isolated from geoffroea decorticans seeds with anticoagulant activity
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-08)
Geoffroea decorticans is a xerophilous deciduous tree present in most arid forests of southern South America, which is commonly used in traditional medicine. The seeds of this tree have been previously investigated for ...
Glycosylation, denaturation, and aggregation of soy proteins in defatted soy flakes flour: Influence of thermal and homogenization treatments
(Taylor, 2016-10)
This paper provides a systematic study of the impact of different thermal treatments (62 ± 2°C, without and with relative humidity control, 79%) on soy protein in defatted soy flour and their aqueous dispersions. The effect ...
Uterine endometrial cytology, biopsy, bacteriology, and serum C-reactive protein in clinically healthy diestrus bitches
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2019-06)
The aim of this work was to assess the agreement between endometrial cytology and uterine biopsy for the diagnosis of endometritis (END), the bacterial populations isolated from the vagina and uterus of bitches having END, ...
Targeting a cross-reactive Gly m 5 soy peptide as responsible for hypersensitivity reactions in a milk allergy mouse model
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01)
Background: Cross-reactivity between soybean allergens and bovine caseins has been previously reported. In this study we aimed to map epitopes of the major soybean allergen Gly m 5 that are co-recognized by casein specific ...
Glutathione and ascorbic acid protect Arabidopsis plants against detrimental effects of iron deficiency
(Oxford University Press, 2013-06)
Iron is an essential micronutrient required for a wide variety of cellular functions in plant growth and development. Chlorosis is the first visible symptom in iron-deficient plants. Glutathione (GSH) and ascorbic acid ...
Serum reactive oxygen species and apoptosis markers in septic patients
(Termedia Publishing House Ltd, 2020-12)
Background: Oxidative stress is one of the pathophysiological processes that occur during sepsis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production causes lipid peroxidation and protein and DNA damage. ROS and DNA damage triggers ...
Interferon-Β lipofection II: Mechanisms involved in cell death and bystander effect induced by cationic lipid-mediated interferon-Β gene transfer to human tumor cells
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012-06)
We evaluated the cytotoxic effects (apoptosis, necrosis and early senescence) of human interferon-B (hIFNB) gene lipofection. The cytotoxicity of hIFNB gene lipofection resulted equivalent to that of the corresponding ...
How mitogen-activated protein kinases recognize and phosphorylate their targets: A QM/MM study
(American Chemical Society, 2009-05)
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways play an essential role in the transduction of environmental stimuli to the nucleus, thereby regulating a variety of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, ...
Mitochondrial function and nitric oxide metabolism are modified by enalapril in rat kidney
(American Physiological Society, 2007-04)
The renal and cardiac benefits of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibition in hypertension exceed those attributable to blood pressure reduction, and seem to involve mitochondrial function changes. To investigate whether ...
