Gamma Radiation-Induced Damage in the Zinc Finger of the Transcription Factor IIIA by XiaoHong Zhang, YuJi Miao, XiaoDan Hu, Rui Min, PeiDang Liu, HaiQian Zhang

“…The thiol groups were oxidized to form disulfide bonds and the zinc (II) ions were indicated to be reduced to zinc atoms. These results indicate that the zinc finger motif is a target domain for gamma radiation, which may decrease 5S rRNA expression via impairment of the zinc finger motifs in TFIIIA.…”

Unbinding of alpha chain of hemoglobin in sickle and normal structures by Jhulan Powrel, Rajendra Prasad Koirala, Narayan Prasad Adhikari

“…Sickle cell disease, a genetic disorder, is caused by a mutation of glutamic acid into valine in β chain of hemoglobin at the sixth residue, resulting in structural change of the entire hemoglobin molecule into a sickle shape. We investigated the atomic level interaction between the α chain (chain A) and the remaining three chains to identify the structural modification in sickle hemoglobin using the molecular dynamics simulations. …”
