[NMR paper] Aggregation and the Intrinsic Structural Disorder of Dipeptide Repeat Peptides of C9orf72-Related Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia Characterized by NMR
Aggregation and the Intrinsic Structural Disorder of Dipeptide Repeat Peptides of C9orf72-Related Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia Characterized by NMR
Dipeptide repeats (DPRs) are known to play important roles in C9ORF72-related amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Studies on DPRs have reported on the kinetics of aggregation, toxicity, and low-resolution morphology of the aggregates of these peptides. While the dipeptide hexa-repeats of Gly-Pro [(GP)(6)] have been shown to be nonaggregating, Gly-Ala [(GA)(6)] and Gly-Arg [(GR)(6)] exhibited the formation of neurotoxic aggregates. However, structural studies of...
[NMR paper] NMR illuminates intrinsic disorder
NMR illuminates intrinsic disorder
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has long been instrumental in the characterization of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). This method continues to offer rich insights into the nature of IDPs in solution, especially in combination with other biophysical methods such as small-angle scattering, single-molecule fluorescence, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and mass spectrometry. Substantial advances have been made in recent years in studies...
