Multiphasic effect of vinyl pyrrolidone polymers on amyloidogenesis, from macromolecular crowding to inhibition

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that high molecular mass PVP360 promotes amyloidogenesis due to volume exclusion and increase in effective amyloidsogenic monomer concentration, like other crowders, but without the confounding effects of viscosity and surface activity.

Step-By-Step In Vitro Mutagenesis: Lessons From Fucose-Binding Lectin PA-IIL

TL;DR: A site-directed mutagenesis method used for investigating the sugar binding pattern of the PA-IIL lectin from the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is described, and several basic methods for characterizing the mutants are discussed.
Dissertation

Ionic thermophoresis and its application in living cells

Maren Reichl
TL;DR: The first result of this thesis is that the phenomenon thermophoresis consists of different additive contributions, which bridge the gap between local thermodynamic equilibrium approaches and non-equilibrium theories.

Chlorhexidine as a Keap1-Nrf2 inhibitor: a new target for an old drug for Parkinson's disease therapy

TL;DR: Chlorhexidine, an antimicrobial agent, is widely used as a mouthwash, skin cleanser, and intervening bacterial infection during childbirth, and the chemical scaffold of chlorhexidine is a potential lead to develop new chemical libraries with drug-like properties for treating PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biophysical methods for the study of protein interactions.

TL;DR: The goal of the present Special Issue is to represent this rapid development on many levels, in a periscope-like fashion through detailed introductions to select current developments by leaders in the field.

Rapid measurement of binding constants and heats of binding using a new titration calorimeter.

TL;DR: A new titration calorimeter is described and results are presented for the binding of cytidine 2'-monophosphate (2'CMP) to the active site of ribonuclease A.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gel electrophoresis method for quantifying the binding of proteins to specific DNA regions: application to components of the Escherichia coli lactose operon regulatory system

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that even when pre-formed in the presence of CAP-cAMP, the polymerase-promoter open complex becomes unstable if CAP is then selectively removed, and this gel method is applied to the study of the E. coli lactose operon regulatory system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) for detecting protein-nucleic acid interactions.

TL;DR: The most important factors that determine the stabilities and electrophoretic mobilities of complexes under assay conditions are identified and commonly used variants are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guanine-nucleotide-releasing factor hSos1 binds to Grb2 and links receptor tyrosine kinases to Ras signalling.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the Grbl/hSos1 complex couples activated EGF receptor to Ras signalling, and a synthetic 10-amino-acid peptide containing the sequence PPVPPR specifically blocks the interaction.
