Characterization of uranyl ion binding to amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides: effects on Aβ structure and aggregation

This study investigates how uranyl ions bind to amyloid beta peptides, altering their structure and aggregation, potentially contributing to Alzheimer's disease pathology.

Lactose-based surfactants complexable with oligonucleic acids as gene delivery agents

This study evaluates lactose-based surfactants as gene delivery agents by analyzing their nucleic acid complexation and cytotoxicity in cell models.

The Prion Protein Octarepeat Domain Forms Transient β-sheet Structures Upon Residue-Specific Cu(II) and Zn(II) Binding

This study investigates how Cu(II) and Zn(II) binding affects the structure of the prion protein's octarepeat domain, suggesting a potential role in amyloid formation in TSEs.

Specific sequence of arrival promotes coexistence via spatial niche preemption by the weak competitor

The paper shows that the order of species arrival affects competitive outcomes through spatial niche preemption, enabling coexistence of two spider mite species.

The engineered peptide construct NCAM1-Aβ inhibits aggregation of the human prion protein (PrP)

The paper shows that the engineered peptide NCAM1-Aβ inhibits human PrP aggregation using atomic force microscopy.

Structural characterization of covalently stabilized human cystatin C oligomers

The paper characterizes the structure of covalently stabilized human cystatin C oligomers using molecular modeling and experimental techniques, revealing a dodecamer model with specific dimensions.

Phase separation of Ede1 promotes the initiation of endocytic events

The paper shows that Ede1 phase separation forms condensates that recruit endocytic proteins and initiate endocytic events.
