Computational Study on Oligomer Formation of Fibril-forming Peptide of α-Synuclein
We have studied the oligomerization of a fibril-forming segment of α-Synulcein using a replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) simulation. The simulation was performed with trimers and tetramers of a 12 amino acid residue stretch (residues 71-82) of α-Synulcein. From extensive REMD simulations, we observed the spontaneous formation of both trimer and tetramer, demonstrating the self-aggregat...
متن کاملHuman placental calcitonin receptors.
Receptors for the hypocalcaemic hormone, calcitonin (CT), have been identified in a membrane fraction prepared from term human placentae. Binding of 125I-labelled salmon CT (125I-sCT) to the membranes was time- and temperature-dependent, saturable (Bmax. 58 +/- 11 fmol/mg of protein), of high affinity (Kd 80 +/- 21 pM) and poorly reversible. Species-specific CTs and CT analogues competed for 12...
متن کاملPreparation and biodistribution study of 67Ga-gallium calcitonin
Introduction: In order to develop a radiolabeled calcitonin (CT) derivative for receptor imaging studies, CT was successively labeled with 67Ga-gallium chloride. Methods: The best results of the conjugation were obtained by the addition of 0.5 ml of a CT nasal pharmaceutical solution (1100 IU) to a glass tube pre-coated with DTPA-dianhydride (0.01 mg) at 25°C with continuous mild st...
متن کاملSimulation study of the contribution of oligomer/oligomer binding to capsid assembly kinetics.
The process by which hundreds of identical capsid proteins self-assemble into icosahedral structures is complex and poorly understood. Establishing constraints on the assembly pathways is crucial to building reliable theoretical models. For example, it is currently an open question to what degree overall assembly kinetics are dominated by one or a few most efficient pathways versus the enormous...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay of calcitonin in human plasma.
A sensitive, specific radioimmunoassay of calcitonin is described, suitable for measuring the hormone in peripheral plasma of normal man. With this assay we have demonstrated that calcitonin is detectable under basal Conditions and the concentrations respond to induced, and spontaneous hypercalcemia and induced hypocalcemia. The mean value for basal calcitonin of normal men was 182 pg/mI (range...
