Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a DNA analogue in which the negatively charged sugar phosphate backbone has been substituted by uncharged N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units. The study of PNA−DNA duplex and corresponding DNA−DNA gives unique opportunity to compare two polyelectrolytes with virtually identical geometry but greatly different linear charge density. results provide basis for applicability Poisson−Boltzmann (PB) counterion condensation (CC) theories. UV circular dichroism spectroscopy as...
Membrane fusion is a key event in many biological processes. These processes are controlled by various fusogenic agents of which proteins and peptides from the principal group. The process characterized three major steps, namely, inter membrane contact, lipid mixing forming intermediate step, pore opening finally inner contents cells/vesicles. steps governed energy barriers, need to be overcome complete fusion. Structural reorganization big molecules like proteins/peptides, supplies required...
If a vesicle is better model of membrane in the context hydrophobic effect, then from charge distribution point view, catanionic micelle closer to biomembrane. We have prepared and characterized two different types micelles sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) cetyl N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) having surface ratios using optical spectroscopy transmission electron microscopy. The average size both mixed was found be much larger than that containing uniformly charged headgroups. Catanionic...
Abstract Spectroscopic and molecular modeling techniques have been employed to study the interaction of oxicam group nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with a polysaccharide such as β‐cyclodextrin (β‐cd). β‐cd is good drug delivery system known reduce harmful side effects these in gastrointestinal tract increase their clinical efficacy. A detailed understanding host–guest helps designing better coupled increased therapeutic potential. However, there exists controversy which...
Membrane fusion is a critical step in many biological events. The process always induced by different fusogenic agents of which proteins and peptides form the largest group. mechanistic details vary depending on nature agents. However, membrane small drug molecules at physiologically relevant concentration has not been observed. Only recently our group shown that three painkillers, namely, meloxicam, piroxicam, tenoxicam, belonging to oxicam non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)...
Lornoxicam forms inclusion complexes with all cyclodextrins but for their hydroxy-propyl derivatives, the drug also interacts outer surfaces.
Membrane fusion is a key event in many biological processes. The process, both vivo and vitro, induced by different agents which include mainly proteins peptides. For protein- peptide-mediated membrane fusion, conformational reorganization serves as driving force. Small drug molecules do not share this advantage; hence, occurring absence of any other fusogenic agent at physiologically relevant concentration the drugs very rare event. To date, only three drugs, namely, meloxicam (Mx),...
The rigidity and flexibility of homologous psychrophilic (P), mesophilic (M), thermophilic (T) proteins have been investigated at the global local levels in terms "packing factors" "atomic fluctuations" obtained from B-factors. For comparison atomic fluctuations, correction errors by considering B-factors all sources a consolidated manner conversion fluctuations to same temperature suggested validated. results indicate no differences values like average packing factor among three classes...
