Journal ArticleDOI
Osmolyte induced enhancement of expression and solubility of human dihydrofolate reductase: An in vivo study.
TL;DR: This study is consequential in increasing the production of functional and soluble protein in the cell extract and will also be appropriate to find a therapeutic agent against many neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal Article
Dihydrofolate reductase as a versatile drug target in healthcare
TL;DR: There is a need for deeper understanding of the difference in the structure of this enzyme in various organisms so as to design drugs that are specific to their targets and reduce the chance for cross reactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of differential efficacy of chemical chaperones in ameliorating solubilization and folding of zebrafish dihydrofolate reductase.
TL;DR: The effect of chemical chaperones from four different classes on the stability and functionality of aggregation prone protein zebrafish dihydrofolate reductase (zDHFR) in vitro and in vivo conditions is observed.
Book ChapterDOI
Osmolyte System and Its Biological Significance
TL;DR: The current chapter discusses the versatility of the osmolytes in various metabolic functions and how widely they are distributed across the different classes of organisms (plants, animals, insects, marine animals, etc.).
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics and thermodynamics of the thermal inactivation and chaperone assisted folding of zebrafish dihydrofolate reductase
TL;DR: Minichaperone can act as a very good in vitro as well as in vivo chaperone model for monitoring assisted protein folding phenomenon and indicates that it enhances the thermal stability of the enzyme.
