Proteomics-Driven Analysis of Ovine Whey Colostrum
The aim of this study was to shed light in to the complexity of the ovine colostrum proteome, with a specific focus on the low abundance proteins. The ovine colostrum is characterized by a few dominating proteins, as the immunoglobulins, but it also contains less represented protein species, equally important for the correct development of neonates. Ovine colostrum, collected immediately after ...
متن کاملA simplified exactly solvable model for beta-amyloid aggregation
We propose an exactly solvable simplified statistical mechanical model for the thermodynamics of β-amyloid aggregation, generalizing a well–studied model for protein folding. The monomer concentration is explicitly taken into account as well as a non trivial dependence on the microscopic degrees of freedom of the single peptide chain, both in the α-helix folded isolated state and in the fibrill...
متن کاملPhage display affords peptides that modulate beta-amyloid aggregation.
As the population ages, the need to develop methods to understand and intercept the processes responsible for protein aggregation diseases is becoming more urgent. The aggregation of the protein beta-amyloid (Abeta) has been implicated in Alzheimer's Disease (AD); however, whether the toxic species is a large, insoluble aggregate or some lower order form is not yet known. Agents that can modula...
متن کاملOptical trapping for the characterization of amyloid-beta aggregation kinetics.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is marked by the accumulation of neuronal plaques from insoluble amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides. Growing evidence for the role of Aβ oligomers in neuronal cell cytotoxicity and pathogenesis has prompted the development of novel techniques to better understand the early stages of aggregation. Near infrared (NIR) optical trapping was applied to characterize the early stages o...
متن کاملCrown ethers attenuate aggregation of amyloid beta of Alzheimer's disease.
In this report, we reasoned that non-covalent modification of amyloid beta (Aβ) by crown ethers could inhibit its aggregation. We demonstrated that PiB-C, a conjugate PiB and crown ether, could significantly reduce the aggregation in vitro. Additionally, two-photon imaging showed that PiB-C could efficiently label Aβ plaques and CAAs in AD mice.
