Influência de complexos polipiridínicos de Ru(II) no processo de agregação do peptídeo beta amiloide
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Química - PPGQ, Câmpus São Carlos, 27/02/2023)Most neurodegenerative diseases are associated with abnormal protein aggregation. Amyloid proteins are highly prone to aggregation and, consequently, accumulate in the brain, disrupting synapses and causing neurotoxicity. ... -
Estudos bioquímicos e cinéticos de acetilcolinesterases de formigas cortadeiras (Atta sexdens)
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Química - PPGQ, Câmpus São Carlos, 29/09/2017)Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) (EC 3.1.1.7) is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine leading to the release of acetate and choline. In insects, acetylcholine is one of the ... -
Evaluation of the biological activity of the disintegrin-like and cysteine-rich domains of Bothropasin, a metalloproteinase from Bothrops jararaca
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Química - PPGQ, Câmpus São Carlos, 17/05/2021)Bothropasin is a 48kDa hemorrhagic class III Snake Venom Metalloproteinase (SVMP). As a multi-domain protein, it contains catalytic metalloproteinase (M), disintegrin-like (D), and cysteine rich domains (C). Integrins ...
