Protein corona formation is critical for the design of ideal and safe nanoparticles (NPs) for nanomedicine, biosensing, organ targeting, and other applications, but methods to quantitatively predict the formation of the protein corona, especially for functional compositions, remain unavailable. The traditional linear regression model performs poorly for the protein corona, as measured by R2 (less than 0.40). Here, the performance with R2 over 0.75 in the prediction of the protein corona was achieved by integrating a machine learning model and meta-analysis. NPs without modification and surface

Transgenic animal bioreactors can produce therapeutic proteins with high value for pharmaceutical use.

The behavior of proteins near interfaces is relevant for biological and medical purposes. Previous results in bulk show that, when the protein concentration increases, the proteins unfold and, at higher concentrations, aggregate.

To this goal, we use a coarse-grained model of proteins and study by simulations their folding and aggregation near an ideal hydrophobic surface in an aqueous environment by changing parameters such as temperature and hydrophobic strength, related, e.g., to ions concentration.

Abstract:
A spindle matrix has been proposed to help organize and stabilize the microtubule spindle during mitosis, though molecular evidence corroborating its existence has been elusive. In Drosophila, we have cloned and characterized a novel nuclear protein, skeletor, that we propose is part of a macromolecular complex forming such a spindle matrix. Skeletor antibody staining shows that skeletor is associated with the chromosomes at interphase, but redistributes into a true fusiform spindle structure at prophase, which precedes microtubule spindle formation. During metaphase, the spindle, defined by s

Protein-protein interactions are widely found in biological systems controlling diverse cellular events. Because these interactions are implicated in many diseases such as autoimmunity and cancer, regulation of protein-protein interactions provides ideal targets for drug intervention. The CD80-CD28 costimulatory pathway plays a critical role in regulation of the immune response and thus constitutes an attractive target for therapeutic manipulation of autoimmune diseases. The objective of this study is to identify small compounds disrupting these pivotal protein-protein interactions. Compounds

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein-coding RNAs that are involved in a variety of biological processes. The pig is an important farm animal and an ideal biomedical model. In this study, we performed a genome-wide scan for lncRNAs in multiple tissue types from pigs. A total of 118 million paired-end 90 nt clean reads were obtained via strand-specific RNA sequencing, 80.4% of which were aligned to the pig reference genome. We developed a stringent bioinformatics pipeline to identify 2,139 high-quality multiexonic lncRNAs. The characteristic analysis revealed that the novel lncRNAs show

Objectives Experiment 1 tested whether 9 of the DAAs (Ala, Arg, Asn, Asp, Gln, Glu, Gly, Pro, Ser) are ideal N sources using the indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) technique.

One promising approach is to use an engineered zinc finger endonuclease to specifically cleave the target gene and so promote HR between a dsDNA template and its chromosomal target (Urnov et al (2005) Nature 435:646-51).
