Thermodynamic Investigation of Copper Binding to the Amyloid-Beta (A[beta]) Peptide
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Alzheimer's disease is a fatal and neurodegenerative disease with as many as 5.3 million Americans living with the disease. One of the characteristic hallmarks of Alzheimer's is the amyloid plaques that build up around the ...
Thermodynamic studies of Ca²⁺ binding to human cardiac troponin C
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Human Cardiac Troponin C (HcTnC) is an EF hand protein responsible for initiating contraction of the myocardium (heart muscle). The helix-loop-helix motif, characteristic of members of the EF-hand family, allows HcTnC to ...
