The assembly of protein strands into fibrils
Researchers at ETHZ Zurich, EPFL Lausanne and at the University of Fribourg evidenced a basic general mechanism describing how filamentous proteins assemble into ribbon like structures, the so-called Amyloid fibrils. Combining experiments and theory, they could explain how denatured milk proteins assemble into ribbon like structures composed of up to five filaments. These findings are shining a surprisingly new light on the

assembly of these proteins.

When an electron moves through a special type of magnetic texture called a skyrmion,
its magnetic moment (spin) twists to adjust to the skyrmion's local spin structure
(ribbon-like pattern). This twisting changes the electron's direction of travel and pushes
the electron and the skyrmion in opposite directions (not shown)

We show that molecular motion can be controlled in
dynamically assembled systems through segregation of the
disassembly process and internal translation to time scales that
differ by four orders of magnitude. Helical molecular tapes
were designed to slowly wind around rod-like guests and then
to rapidly slide along them. The winding process requires helix
unfolding and refolding, as well as a strict match between helix
length and anchor points on the rods. This modular design and
dynamic assembly open up promising capabilities in molecular machinery.

www.jeol.com/.../tabid/752/Default.aspxNecrosis is defined as focal death along with degradation of tissue by hydrolytic enzymes
which are liberated by the cells. Necrosis may be caused by various agents such as
hypoxia, physical and chemical factors, microbial agents and immunological injury.
Irreversible cell injury can be caused by -
1. Cell digestion by lytic enzymes
2. Denaturation of proteins
These changes can be particularly seen by changes in the nuclear and cytoplasmic
characteristics. The cytoplasm appears homogenous and eosinophilic. The nuclear
changes may be condensation of nuclear chromatin(pyknosis), may undergo
dissolution(karyolysis) or fragmentation(karyorrhexis)
Morphologically there are 5 types of necrosis seen in humans, which include:
1. Coagulative necrosis ・ The most common type of necrosis with irreversible focal
injury, mostly caused by sudden cessation of blood, generally Ischaemia. Less commonly
by bacterial and chemical agents. The organs which are very commonly affected by
coagulative necrosis are heart, spleen and kidney.
2. Liquefaction necrosis ・ Also called as Colliquative necrosis, is commonly due to
ischaemic injury and bacterial or fungal infections. Thsi occurs due to degradation of
tissues by the action of powerful hydrolytic enzymes. The places where liquefaction
necrosis is commonly seen are Infarct brain and abscess cavity.
3. Caseous necrosis ・ This type of necrosis is found in the center of foci of the
tuberculous infections. This necrosis has the combined features of both coagulative and
liquefaction necrosis.
4. Fat necrosis ・ Fat necrosis is a special form of cell death that is caused at two
anatomically different locations, and morphologically similar lesions. These lesions are -
Acute pancreatic necrosis and Traumatic fat necrosis. And this is commmonly seen in
breasts.
In case of pancreas, there is liberation of pancreatic lipases, from the inflammed or
injured tissues that results in necrosis of the pancreas and also on the fat deposits
throughout the peritoneal cavity. This sometimes also affects the extra-abdominal
adipose tissue.
5. Fibrinoid necrosis ・ Fibrinoid degeneration is characterised by deposition of fibrin-like
material which has the staining properties of fibrin. This can be seen in various cases like
immunological tissue injury, hypertension of arterioles, peptic ulcer etc.

Protein iz krvi može signalizirati rizik od smrti u starijih osoba 31.08.2011.
Švedski znanstvenici otkrili su protein iz krvi koji bi mogao ukazivati na povećan rizik od
smrti u starijih osoba, naime ispitanici koji su imali povišenu razinu tog proteina bili su
izloženi 60 posto većem riziku od smrti. Radi se o proteinu katepsinu S koji je inače
povezan s upalnim procesima. U teoriji takav biomarker može pomoći u usmjeravanju
zdravstvene skrbi, no njegova primjena je još daleko. Prethodne studije otkrile su više
razine katepsina S u bolesnika koji su pretili ili imaju dijabetes ili srčanu bolest. Kod
bolesnika koji su smršavili zapažene su niže razine katepsina S. Jednako tako
znanstvenici su pretpostavljali da je katepsin S povezan s razvojem ateroskleroze te da
ima ulogu u nastanku i širenju karcinoma. Izvor: Journal of the American Medical
Association

Proteoliza je složeni biokemijski proces u kojem se proteini
pod utjecajem endogenih enzima hidroliziraju u manje
jedinice - peptide i slobodne aminokiseline. Post-mortalna
razgradnja mišićnih proteina odvija se pod utjecajem mišićnih
proteaza odnosno endopeptidaza (kalpaini i katepsini) koje
sudjeluju u početnom omekšavanju mišićnog tkiva i
egzopeptidaza (peptidaze, aminopeptidaze i
karboksipeptidaze) koje učestvuju u kasnijim fazama
proteolize. Proteoliza u mišićima započinje oslobananjem
Ca2+ iona iz sarkoplazmatskog retikuluma i aktivacijom
kalpaina koji razlažu Z-membranu i regulatorne proteine, a
nastavlja se aktivacijom katepsina i hidrolizom glavnih

called the β-form).
