Second, the long chain of “oligomeric” RNAs —to use technical speak— is then cut up into its individual units by host enzymes or, occasionally, by ribozymes encoded in the virusoid genome.

However, emerging research suggests that the soluble oligomeric form of A-beta poses the biggest threat to the health of ...

A new treatment for early-stage Alzheimer’s uses nanoparticles and light to slow the progress of the disease, set off by a ...

According to a randomised controlled trial conducted by the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Science, The Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins(OPCs) found in red wine demonstrated skin ...

Researchers from Lund University published data from a study that investigated the role of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein associated with the ...

Discover how Ionis Pharmaceuticals' patent for modified oligonucleotides offers hope in treating Parkinson's disease by reducing LRRK2 levels and alleviating symptoms. Explore the groundbreaking ...

These results suggest that an oligomeric intermediate is forming which adds efficiently to the added seed, explaining the fast phase and the increasing amplitude observed with increasing pre ...

compounds composed of a large number of component monomers; polymeric proteins may be made up of different or identical monomers. Polymerization occurs by the addition of extra monomers to an existing ...

A famous example is HIV protease inhibitors. Viral proteases utilize many different catalytic mechanisms and oligomeric assemblies. They are also an interesting example of enzymes that can catalyze an ...

Many neurodegenerative diseases (amyloidoses) are associated with protein aggregation, though smaller oligomeric forms of the misfolded (amyloidogenic) proteins have been implicated as the ...
