EXPLORING THE CONFORMATIONAL SPACE OF BCL-2 PROTEIN VARIANTS: DYNAMIC CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE FLEXIBLE LOOP DOMAIN AND TRANSMEMBRANE REGION

Exploring the Conformational Space of Bcl-2 Protein Variants: Dynamic Contributions of the Flexible Loop Domain and Transmembrane Region

Members of the Bcl-2 protein family regulate apoptosis through interactions with several proteins.A Posters critical intrinsically disordered region (IDR) present in some members of the Bcl-2 family is essential for their function.Also, the structural and conformational plasticity of disordered regions is essential for the regulation of the Bcl-2 p

Trans-scaphoid lunate dislocation: A case series

Trans-scaphoid lunate dislocation with volar displacement into the wrist/distal forearm is a devastating injury that most commonly occurs under situations of forceful impact to an extended wrist.Due to ligamentous disruption as well as fragile blood supply, these top Mayfield type 4 injuries are associated with significant morbidity and long-term s

Abnormal mechanical stress on bicuspid aortic valve induces valvular calcification and inhibits Notch1/NICD/Runx2 signal

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital cardiac deformity, increasing the risk of developing calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD).The disturbance of hemodynamics can induce valvular calcification, but the mechanism has not been fully identified.Methods We constructed a finite element model (FEM) of the 5 Piece Queen Louvered Panel Be
