What is a polymer composed of amino acid monomers called? What are the monomers of proteins? Describe their basic structure. What is the monomer or base unit for carbohydrates? Which class of biological polymer has the greatest functional variety? 1) DNA 2) polysaccharides 3) pro...
In cells, most S100 proteins exist in the form of homologous dimers, whereas a few form heterodimers, trimers, and tetramers. They can exist in the form of monomers under special conditions, but dimers exhibit important biological functions. The S100 protein family, as a Ca2+ sensor, ...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia globally and is characterized by aberrant accumulations of amyloid-beta (Aβ) and tau proteins. Oligomeric forms of these proteins are believed to be most relevant to disease progression, with
It is therefore likely that dex promoted the release of Lamin A/C from large chromatin complexes (LADs lamina-associated domain), measured as peak by EDD, promoting smaller Lamin A/C interacting regions or non-interacting Lamin A/C monomers. The peak calls were higher in WT cells, where a...
The monomers are resolved into aEC-SOD and iEC-SOD as previously shown [23]. The dimer migrates as a fuzzy band of ~52 kDa. When EC-SOD is deglycosylated (+PNGase F) the size of the monomers and dimer is reduced consistent with the removal of a single glycan in each subunit. The...
Aerobic conditions are required as they increase the amino acid production, which points to the oxidation of aldehydes as a crucial step. A glycine precursor arises from ammonia and glyoxylic acid, the latter generated by oxidation of glycolaldehyde. Small monomers other than HCHO have been taken ...
No information on the physiological formation of NK-1R dimers or oligomers has been provided. NK-1R functions through functional monomers residing in membrane microdomains where cholesterol is essential [22]. However, the capacity to heterodimerize appears possible. Artificially built heterodimers of NK...
Micelles in general are a few nanometers in diameter and have molecular weights of less than 100 kDa [19]. The minimal detergent concentration at which micelles are observed is called critical micelle concentration (CMC). At detergent concentrations below the CMC, only detergent monomers exist in...
Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) have pivotal roles in life processes. The studies showed that aberrant PPIs are associated with various diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, targeting PPIs is a d
