In silico molecular dynamics of human glycophorin A (GPA) extracellular structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Glycophorin A (GPA) is one of two glycoproteins found on the surface human red blood cells (RBCs) that constitute MNS group system. The structure GPA’s extracellular domain unknown despite previous attempts using X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. As a result, there knowledge gap regarding antigen presentation. This hinders production monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against antigens.

Effects of Aluminum Incorporation in Tobermorite Structure on Chloride Diffusion: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study
In this paper, the effects of different aluminum to silicon ratios in silicate chains of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) are evaluated on the diffusion coefficient of chloride ions by molecular dynamics method. Tobermorite is a crystalline phase that is used for studying C-S-H properties in nano scale, because of its analogous chemical composition to C-S-H. Aluminum incorporation in C-S-H and...
متن کاملHow Do Palladium Complexes Affect on Coil Structure of Human Serum Albumin in the Presence of Carbon Nanotube? A Molecular Dynamics Study
To investigate the interaction and adsorption of drug and carbon nanotube on human serum albumin, three anti-cancer drugs ([Pd(phen)(R-gly)]NO3, R = methyl, propyl and amyl) with different hydrophobic tails and anticancer activities were selected. These drugs have better anti-tumor activity and less side effects than that known cis-platinum drug. Human serum albumin is also ...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of glycophorin C deficiency in human erythrocytes.
Human erythrocyte glycophorin C plays a functionally important role in maintaining erythrocyte shape and regulating membrane mechanical stability. We report here the characterization of the glycophorins C and D deficiency in erythrocytes of the Leach phenotype. Glycophorin C gene is encoded by 4 exons. Amplification of reticulocyte cDNA from Leach phenotype and normal individuals generated a 14...

15 صفحه اولA Study on The Effect of Temperature on Human Prion Protein Structure through Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Background & Aims: The normal form of the prion protein is called PrPC and its infectious form is called PrPSc. This protein functions like a crystallized core for the transformation of PrPc into an abnormal PrPSc. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of temperature on human prion protein structure through molecular dynamic simulation. Methods: In this research, the GROMAC...
