蛋白质解旋对构象性疾病的影响

Influence of protein unwinding on conform ational diseases

蛋白质解旋包括高级结构的改变、二硫键的形成及断裂等;蛋白质的解旋广泛参与生物体内多种生理和病理过程,其中高级结构的改变对构象性疾病的发生、发展有重要影响。本文综述蛋白质解旋对构象性疾病的影响,并以白内障及阿尔兹海默症为例,探寻此类疾病共有的某些发病机制及相应的干预途径。

Protein unwinding includes advanced structure changes, the formation and fracture of disulfide bond and so on. Protein unwinding is widely involved in the physiological and pathological processes in vivo, of which advanced structure changes have important influences on the occurrence and development of conformational diseases. In order to seek for the common pathological mechanism and corresponding intervention approach, this review summarizes the current information about conformational diseases, especially about cataract and Alzheimer＇s disease.
