Prion Proteins Form Stable Beta-Sheet Structures
Researchers studying how prion particles interact to form long threads of amyloid fibrils have found that in water the mouse PrP106-126 protein fragment assumes a stable structure of parallel beta-sheets that are tightly packed against each other. More...23 Dec 2003
CART Protein May Neutralize Cocaine
A recent study into the metabolism of cocaine and other psychostimulant drugs found that a CART (cocaine-amphetamine regulated transcript) peptide reduced some of the effects of cocaine when it was injected into the locomotor area of the brain prior to the administration of the drug.
