Oral Session 03: CNS Risk

Exposure to space radiation may have impacts on brain function, either during or following missions. It is most important to determine how low doses of protons and high-LET irradiation elicit changes in brain function. Within this framework, the role of oxidative stress should also be assessed, as well as other possible interaction mechanisms involving, e.g., genetic, environmental, and sex-dep...

Session 3 : Infectious diseases

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) entry into target cells appears to be triggered when two heptad repeat regions in the ectodomain of gp41 associate, converting the prefusogenic form of gp41 to a fusogenic form. Peptides from these two heptad repeat regions, designated N51 and C43, form a coiled coil consisting of an ƒÁ-helical trimer of heterodimers which approximates the core of the...

Session 3 : Emerging technologies

The intrinsic properties of antibodies has resulted in them becoming widely exploited as tools in both basic research and the treatment of human disease. This, especially the latter, has been made possible through our increased understanding of antibody structure. The sequences of thousands of antibodies has been determined, and as an early example of the use of bioinformatics, the mechanism by...
