Neurodegeneration is linked to protein aggregation in several human disorders. In Huntington's disease, the length of a polyglutamine stretch in Huntingtin is correlated to neuronal death. Here we utilize a model based on glutamine stretches of 0, 30 or 56

A combination of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS and APCI-MS/MS) was used to detect and characterize linear polyamine derivatives in the venom of the spiders Agelenopsis aperta, Hololena curta and Paracoelotes birulai. The compounds

Density functional theory and volume-based thermodynamics calculations have been performed to study the crystal densities, heats of formation (HOFs), energetic properties, and thermodynamics of formation for a series of ionic salts composed of triaminoguanidinium or ammonium cations and tetrazole-based anions.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae AAA+ protein Hsp104 and its Escherichia coli counterpart ClpB cooperate with Hsp70 chaperones to refold aggregated proteins and fragment prion fibrils. Hsp104/ClpB activity is regulated by interaction of the M-domain with the first ATPase domain (AAA-1), controlling
