Pharmacokinetics of antiretroviral drugs in anatomical sanctuary sites: the male and female genital tract.
HIV resides within anatomical 'sanctuary sites', where local drug exposure and viral dynamics may differ significantly from the systemic compartment. Suboptimal antiretroviral concentrations in the genital tract may result in compartmentalized viral replication, selection of resistant mutations and possible re-entry of wild-type/resistant virus into the systemic circulation. Therefore, achievin...
متن کاملMechanism of Metal delivery and binding to transport sites of Cu+-transporting ATPases
CopA, a thermophilic membrane ATPase from Archaeoglobus fulgidus, drives the outward movement of Cu across cellular membranes. CopA contains at least two metal binding domains, a regulatory N-terminal Metal Binding Domain (N-MBD) and an occlusion/coordinating metal binding site in the 6, 7 and 8 transmembrane segments. Previous studies showed that the presence of millimolar concentration of Cys...
متن کاملBee sanctuary
The mysterious disappearance of entire bee colonies, known as colony collapse disorder or CCD, has mystified researchers for a couple of years now (see Curr. Biol. 17, R389). It was first observed in the US, where highly industrialised bee-keeping practices mean that colonies are shipped across the continent to work large areas of a single crop. But whether this stress or other factors are resp...
متن کاملMetal Binding Sites in Proteins
Metal ions play a critical role in living systems. About one third of proteins need to bind metal for their stability and/or function. In this review, current sequence based and structure based methods for metal binding site prediction will be presented, with emphasis on the CHED and SeqCHED methods of prediction from apo-protein structures and protein sequences having homologs (even remote) in...
متن کاملNanopipettes for metal transport.
Here we demonstrate, for the first time experimentally, a nanopipette action for metals using multiwalled carbon nanotubes. The process relies on electromigration forces, created at high electron current densities, enabling the transport of material inside the hollow core of carbon nanotubes. In this way nanoparticles of iron were transported to and from electrically conducting substrates.
