A hallmark of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other amyloid diseases is the assembly of amyloid proteins into amyloid aggregates or fibrils. In many cases, the formation and cytotoxicity of amyloid assemblies are associated with their interaction with cell membranes. Despite studied for many years, the characterization of the interaction is challenged for reasons on the multiple aggregation states of amyloid-forming proteins, transient and weak interactions in the complex system. As several...

Solid state NMR of salivary calculi: Proline-rich salivary proteins, citrate, polysaccharides, lipids, and organic–mineral interactions
Solid state NMR of salivary calculi: Proline-rich salivary proteins, citrate, polysaccharides, lipids, and organic–mineral interactions
Publication date: Available online 3 January 2016

Author(s): Yang Li, David G. Reid, Dominique Bazin, Michel Daudon, Melinda J. Duer</br>
Solid state NMR (ssNMR) can characterize mineral (31P) and organic (13C) components of human salivary stones (n*=*8). All show apatitic 31P spectra. 13C ssNMR indicates more protein, of more consistent composition, than apatitic uroliths, with prominent...

Interactions of gemini surfactants with two model proteins: NMR, CD, and fluorescence spectroscopies
Interactions of gemini surfactants with two model proteins: NMR, CD, and fluorescence spectroscopies
1 March 2012
Publication year: 2012
Source:Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, Volume 369, Issue 1</br>
</br>
Gemini surfactants have two polar head groups and two hydrocarbon tails. Compared with conventional surfactants, geminis have much lower (?M vs. mM) critical micelle concentrations and possess slower (ms vs. ?s) monomer ? micelle kinetics. The structure of the gemini surfactants studied is ·2Br- where s =4, 5, or 6. Our objective is to reveal the effect...
