Genome-Wide Association Study of Orthostatic Hypotension and Supine-Standing Blood Pressure Changes in Two Korean Populations by Kyung-Won Hong, Sung Soo Kim, Yeonjung Kim

“…Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is defined by a 20-mm Hg difference of systolic blood pressure (dtSBP) and/or a 10-mm Hg difference of diastolic blood pressure (dtDBP) between supine and standing, and OH is associated with a failure of the cardiovascular reflex to maintain blood pressure on standing from a supine position. To understand the underlying genetic factors for OH traits (OH, dtSBP, and dtDBP), genome-wide association studies (GWASs) using 333,651 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were conducted separately for two population-based cohorts, Ansung (n = 3,173) and Ansan (n = 3,255). …”

A new scheme for boosting in situ Fenton-like reaction in plant pathogenic tissues for selective structural degradation of capsid proteins by Jun Ma, Ming Chen, Yujie Wang, Jiaying Li, Jian Tang, Shengjun Wu, Chi He, J. Paul Chen

“…Within 10 min, the complex induced complete degradation of tertiary structure pockets composed of α-helices and β-sheets located at residues MET1-GLU23, TYR73-ARG93, and SER147-PRO157. Based on a high-resolution 2.91 Å CP model that was constructed for the first time, this degradation process is likely driven by hydrophobic interactions between tCuinter-bCDs and CP residues MET1, VAL5, THR55, and THR58, along with hydrogen bonds formed with THR4, VAL5, GLY15, PRO57, and ALA59, thereby promoting degradation of adjacent peptide segments. …”
