چکیده

Detailed studies on water-binding aquafoldamers are presented that illustrate the potential use of the elongated larger aquafoldamers for recognizing larger water clusters of diverse topologies. A novel self-trapping dimerization mode involving two tetramer molecules is proposed, which is consistent with the obtained varying experimental evidences.

Functional Investigation of the Novel BRCA1variant (Glu1661Gly) byComputationalTools andYeastTranscription Activation Assay

Introduction: Mutations in the BRCA1 gene are major risk factors for breast and ovarian cancers. However, the relationship between some BRCA1 mutations and cancer risk remains largely unknown. Cancer risk predictions could be improved by evaluation of the impairment degree in the BRCA1 functions due to a specific mutation. This study aimed to assess the functional effect of a novel variant (Glu...
