Insights into the molecular evolution of oxytocin receptor ligand binding
The design and development of selective ligands for the human OT (oxytocin) and AVP (arginine vasopressin) receptors is a big challenge since the different receptor subtypes and their native peptide ligands display great similarity. Detailed understanding of the mechanism of OT's interaction with its receptor is important and may assist in the ligand- or structure-based design of selective and ...
متن کاملInteraction force diagrams: new insight into ligand-receptor binding
A method is described to calculate and visualize the interaction forces of ligand-receptor complexes. Starting from an X-ray crystallographic structure, a "thawing" procedure results in a force-field energy-minimized geometry which is close to the crystallographic starting point. By subtracting non-bonded interactions of the ligand with each amino acid residue and using the resulting force vect...
متن کاملFasting Reduces the Binding between Sugar and Protein; New Insights into Diabetic Complications
Fasting has numerous biological, physical and mental health advantages or that as some physicians cure their patients by prescribing fasting to them. Fasting protects people from many diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes complications. The main health-promoting effects of fasting are increased production of neurotrophic factors, neuroendocrine activation, hormetic stre...
متن کاملNew Insights in Glucocorticoid Receptor Signaling—More Than Just a Ligand-Binding Receptor
The clinical use of classical glucocorticoids (GC) is narrowed by the many side effects it causes and the resistance to GC observed in some diseases. Since the great majority of GC effects depend on the activation of a glucocorticoid receptor (GR), many research groups had focused to better understand the signaling pathways involving those receptors. Transgenic animal models and genetic modific...
متن کاملmodeling loss data by phase-type distribution
بیمه گران همیشه بابت خسارات بیمه نامه های تحت پوشش خود نگران بوده و روش هایی را جستجو می کنند که بتوانند داده های خسارات گذشته را با هدف اتخاذ یک تصمیم بهینه مدل بندی نمایند. در این پژوهش توزیع های فیزتایپ در مدل بندی داده های خسارات معرفی شده که شامل استنباط آماری مربوطه و استفاده از الگوریتم em در برآورد پارامترهای توزیع است. در پایان امکان استفاده از این توزیع در مدل بندی داده های گروه بندی ...
