چکیده
The separative and analytical power of ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry combined with photo-induced cross-linking of site-specifically incorporated trifluoromethyldiazirine provides a powerful approach towards structural characterisation of amyloid fibrils.

Photoinduced cross-linking (PIC) has become a powerful tool in chemical biology for the identification and mapping of stable or transient interactions between biomacromolecules and their (unknown) ligands. However, the value of PIC for in vitro and in vivo structural proteomics can be realized only if cross-linking reports accurately on biomacromolecule secondary, tertiary, and quaternary struc...
متن کاملStructural study of metastable amyloidogenic protein oligomers by photo-induced cross-linking of unmodified proteins.
Oligomers of amyloidogenic proteins are believed to be key effectors of cytotoxicity and cause a variety of amyloid-related diseases. Dissociation or inhibition of formation of the toxic oligomers is thus an attractive strategy for the prevention and treatment of these diseases. In order to develop reagents capable of inhibiting protein oligomerization, the structures and mechanisms of oligomer...

Assembly of monomeric amyloid -protein (A ) into oligomeric structures is an important pathogenetic feature of Alzheimer’s disease. The oligomer size distributions of aggregate-free, low molecular weight A 40 and A 42 can be assessed quantitatively using the technique of photo-induced cross-linking of unmodified proteins. This approach revealed that low molecular weight A 40 is a mixture of mon...
متن کاملDetection of the factor V Leiden mutation by a modified photo-cross-linking oligonucleotide hybridization assay.
BACKGROUND Our previously developed assay for detection of the factor V Leiden mutation (G1691A) based on a nucleic acid photo-cross-linking technology used two allele-specific capture probes and six fluorescein-modified signal-generating reporter probes. We wished to improve the sensitivity and performance of the method. METHODS We developed new reporter probes with approximately 10-fold mor...

Amyloid-β (Aβ) self-assembly into cross-β amyloidfibrils is implicated in a causative role in Alzheimer’s disease pathology.Uncertainties persist regarding the mechanisms of amyloid self assembly and the role of metastable prefibrillar aggregates. Aβ fibrilsfeature a sheet-turn-sheet motif in the constituent β-strands; as such, turn nucleation has been proposed as a rate-limiting step in the se...
