Effects of Dimethyl Sulfoxide and Mutations on the Folding of Abeta(25-35) Peptide: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
The 25-35 fragment of the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide is a naturally occurring proteolytic by-product of its larger parent molecule that retains the amyloid characteristics and toxicity of the full length parent molecule. Aggregation of this peptide occurs rapidly in aqueous solutions and thus characterization of its folding process is very difficult. In the present study, early stages of Aβ(25–35) ...
متن کاملProtein folding in membranes: determining energetics of peptide-bilayer interactions.
Although the problem of the folding of soluble proteins continues to resist solution, we at least have a strong understanding of the general thermodynamic principles1,2 and have available a wealth of thermodynamic data.3-5 The study of membrane protein folding and stability is much less advanced: Some general principles are emerging,6-9 but the amount of thermodynamic data available remains qui...

متن کاملPeptides as Potential Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease.
Intracellular synthesis, folding, trafficking and degradation of proteins are controlled and integrated by proteostasis. The frequency of protein misfolding disorders in the human population, e.g., in Alzheimer's disease (AD), is increasing due to the aging population. AD treatment options are limited to symptomatic interventions that at best slow-down disease progression. The key biochemical c...
متن کاملEmpty and peptide-loaded class II major histocompatibility complex proteins produced by expression in Escherichia coli and folding in vitro.
The human class II major histocompatibility complex protein HLA-DR1 has been expressed in Escherichia coli as denatured alpha and beta subunits and folded in vitro to form the native structure. DR1 folding yields are 30-50% in the presence or absence of tight-binding antigenic peptides. The protein produced in this manner is soluble and monomeric with the expected apparent molecular weight. It ...
