Introduction: Abortion is a common complication that refers to the early termination of pregnancy with the death of the fetus before the 20th week of pregnancy. Previous studies show that many genes are involved in this disease, including the CX3CR1 gene, which is one of the inflammatory response genes in the immune system. The pathogenicity of these variants was determined in this study using ...

introduction: bone pain palliation therapy is a mandate in handling end-stage cancer patients. the development of new ligands with higher stability, better pharmacokinetics and lower unwanted tissue uptakes (liver and gi) is still ongoing. methods: in this work lu-177 labeled (3-amino-1-hydroxypropane-1,1-di-yl)-bis-(phosphonate) (177lu-pamidronate; 177lu-pam ), and (3-amino-1-hydroxybutane-1,1...

abstract adsorption of proteins on inorganic surfaces may lead to structural and functional changes that are dependent on both the nature of the adsorbed proteins and the physicochemical properties of the inorganic surfaces. chicken egg white lysozyme (e.c 3.2.1.17, mw=14.6 kda) is a small globular protein, that consists of 129 amino acid residues with four disulfide bonds. the aim of this stud...

The regulation of protein stability is a fundamental issue for biophysical processes, but there has not previously been a convenient and unbiased method of identifying regulators of protein stability. However, as reported in the article entitled "A genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 screening method for protein stability reveals novel regulators of Cdc25A," recently published in Cell Discovery, our team ...

Abstract The physical stability of protein-based emulsions depends on intra- and intermolecular interactions the interfacial protein-film. As studied in aqueous systems before, phenolic acid derivatives (PADs) non-covalently or covalently crosslink proteins depending pH-value thus, may impact protein-films. Whether these occur same manner at interface as water how they vary properties protein-f...

Background: Conventional anti-cancer treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc., are linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and have negative effects on healthy tissues. Objectives: The flow cytometry technique was used in this study to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified anti-cancer peptide in treating the AGS gastric cancer cell line. Methods: This study used ...

Protein methylation at the C-terminus of mammalian isoprenylated proteins has been implicated in membrane attachment, protein-protein interactions, and protein stability. A new paper describes surprising results: in the absence of methylation some target proteins have increased stability, whereas others have decreased stability. The decreased stability of the RhoA protein is correlated with an ...

Negative selection against protein instability is a central influence on evolution of proteins. Protein stability is maintained over evolution despite changes in underlying sequences. An empirical all-site stability-based model of evolution was developed to focus on the selection of residues arising from their contributions to protein stability. In this model, site rates could vary. A structure...
