  • Zanni Group at University of Wisconsin-Madi son: Research in the Zanni group is aimed at exploring molecular structures and dynamics through vibrational motions and couplings. To accomplish this, sophisticated ultrafast multi-dimensio nal spectroscopies are being developed that correlate vibrational modes and measure frequency fluctuations. Emphasis is placed on understanding the molecular vibrations of complex biomolecules with regards to structure and function.
  • UCLA-DOE - David Eisenberg: Our lab studies protein interactions using X-ray crystallograph y, computational analyses, and biochemical methods. We have a long-term goal of understanding and manipulating the functioning of cells through the interactions of their constituent proteins. X-ray crystallograph y is a powerful tool for exploring protein structure and interactions. The crystallograph y projects in our lab fall into two groups. The first focuses on amyloid and prions, classes of pathologically interacting proteins. Our goal is to understand the structures that underlie the pathologies. The second group studies the structural biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with particular focus on protein-protei n complexes, as part of the TB Structural Genomics Consortium.

  • Article : SciBX: Science-Busine ss eXchange: A study by a team at Genentech Inc. proposes a new mechanism for Alzheimer' ;s disease pathogenesis by outlining a process that could be an early step in the neurodegenerat ive disorder. The work also identifies a trio of new AD targets, which the company is pursuing with preclinical programs. The study suggests that the previously ignored amino-terminal portion of amyloid precursor protein (APP), called N-APP, might be the main culprit behind AD. APP is a transmembrane protein that gives rise to N-APP and the much more commonly known -amyloid (A), a fragment that forms the amyloid fibers and plaques that are hallmarks of AD, although the precise role of those fibers and plaques in disease pathology is unclear.

  • Assessment technique lets scientists see brain aging before symptoms appear / UCLA Newsroom: A new chemical marker called FDDNP -that Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is sensitive to, binds to both amyloid plaques and tau tangles. Once injected intravenously into a subject FDDNP then "paints&q uot; these abnormal protein deposits revealing their location and accumulation. Doctors can now detect signs of nascent Alzeimers before the first symptoms appear. Disease progression/ef fectiveness of treatment can also be monitored. Subjects with the APOE-4 gene allele, which increases Alzheimer' ;s risk, accumulated more FDDNP than study participants without that allele.
