The sol-gel transition has been studied for two polysaccharide systems, which form gels by the noncovalent association of chain segments in ordered conformations, but differ geometry these conformations. For ι-carrageenan they are double helices, formation and melting is monitored [13C]-n.m.r. optical rotation. alginate, associations involve site-binding Ca2+ ions an egg-box or sandwich-like geometry, related to similar structures solid films using circular dichroism spectroscopy. Despite...
Background: Meniscal ramp lesions have been defined as a tear of the peripheral attachment posterior horn medial meniscus (PHMM) at meniscocapsular junction or an injury to meniscotibial attachment. Precise anatomic descriptions these structures are limited in current literature. Purpose: To quantitatively and qualitatively describe PHMM posteromedial capsule anatomy pertaining location meniscal lesion with reference surgically relevant landmarks. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study....
In bacteria, the highly conserved RsmA/CsrA family of RNA-binding proteins functions as global posttranscriptional regulators acting on mRNA translation and stability. Through phenotypic complementation an rsmA mutant in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we discovered a member, termed RsmN. Elucidation RsmN crystal structure that complex with hairpin from sRNA, RsmZ, reveals uniquely inserted α helix, which redirects polypeptide chain to form distinctly different protein fold domain-swapped dimeric...

Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is the constituent peptide of deposits found in islets non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Formation islet associated with a progressive destruction insulin-producing beta cells. Factors responsible for conversion IAPP into insoluble fibrils are unknown. Both amino acid sequence human (hIAPP) and hypersecretion hIAPP have been implicated as factors fibril formation man. We generated transgenic mice using rat insulin promoter-hIAPP or (rIAPP) gene...
