Twisted Ribbon Aggregates in a Model Peptide System

Rüter, Axel; Kuczera, Stefan; Pochan, Darrin J.; Olsson, Ulf

The model peptides A8K and A10K self-assemble in water into ca. 100 nm long ribbon-like aggregates. These structures can be described as ?-sheets laminated into a ribbon structure with a constant elliptical cross-section of 4 by 8 nm, where the longer axis corresponds to a finite number, N ? 15,…

The domain swapping of human cystatin C induced by synchrotron radiation

Taube, Michal; Pietralik, Zuzanna; Szymanska, Aneta; Szutkowski, Kosma; Clemens, Daniel; Grubb, Anders; Kozak, Maciej

Domain swapping is observed for many proteins with flexible conformations. This phenomenon is often associated with the development of conformational diseases. Importantly, domain swapping has been observed for human cystatin C (HCC), a protein capable of forming amyloid deposits in brain arteries. In this study, the ability of short exposure…

Alginate-coating of artemisinin-loaded cochleates results in better control over gastro-intestinal release for effective oral delivery

Shuddhodana; Judeh, Zaher

Development of new drug delivery systems for effective delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs is important. We report the development of cochleate-based formulation for the oral administration of poorly water-soluble artemisinin (ART). Cochleates offer great potential as vehicles for the oral delivery of ART due to their high drug encapsulation and…
