Interactions between cellular proteins and morphologically different nanoscale aggregates of small molecules.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Depending on the methods of preparation, amphiphilic small molecules aggregate to form nanostructures with different morphologies that interact with cytosol proteins in a drastically different manner, thus illustrating the first example of morphological dependent protein binding of nanoscale molecular aggregates.

Surfactant molecules are used as interesting tools to study the structure, function and stability of proteins. Protonation states of amino acids may be changed in the presence of surfactants. In this work, using experimental observations and molecular dynamic simulation, the effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the acid dissociation constants of tryptophan was examined. The acid–base equilibriu...

Introduction: Molecular interactions play an important role in the phenomenon and biological processes. In fact, any cellular biological process ranged from genetic replication to the production of various proteins to the transmission of neurological, hormonal, membrane involves collections of molecular interactions that occur continuously. Interference in each of these processes at every stage...

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neuroinflammatory disease resulting in degeneration of the myelin sheaths and death of oligodendrocytes. So far, several strategies have been introduced to control the disease. Treatment with small molecules is one of the strategies that have recently attracted the attention in the scientific community. These molecules that target epigenetic and other cellular proce...
متن کاملLigand–Receptor Interaction Catalyzes the Aggregation of Small Molecules To Induce Cell Necroptosis
Because they exhibit important biological functions, from unfolding proteins to activating enzymes to controlling cell fates, aggregates of small molecules are able to serve as functional molecular entities in cellular environments. However, the inability to precisely control their production has hampered the understanding and exploration of their biological functions. Here we show that the wel...
