The major surfactant protein A (SP-A) determines the dynamics of surfactant metabolism and function. We now for the first time studied the in vivo exposure of the SP-A to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and compared it to in vitro exposure effects. Several properties that are believed to possess ph...

To further investigate the relation between Aβ1–42 structure and function, we analyzed peptide conformation and aggregation at various SDS concentrations using circular dichroism (CD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and gel electrophoresis. These aggregates, as observed via atomic force microsc...
Structure and Function A. Surfactant is primarily composed of phospholipids (85%) and proteins (10%). Most of the phospholipids consist of phosphatidylcholine (PC), and one particular PC molecule, DPPC (dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine), is the most prevalent component. The structure of DPPC is suit...

The structures of each of the major surfactant proteins are quite distinct, supporting the concept that each plays a unique role in the structure and function of surfactant. Surfactant phospholipids themselves, although providing the molecules critical for the reduction of surface tension in the alveolu...
Furthermore, mutation studies showed that residue 85 plays an important role in the structure and function of SP-A1 and SP-A2. These functional and structural differences between SP-A1 and SP-A2, as well as the observed variation of the SP-A1/SP-A ratio with age and pulmonary health, ...
