| Abstract | Transthyretin (TTR) is a protein whose aggregation and deposition can lead to human amyloid diseases. V30A TTR is a TTR variant observed in some familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) patients. Here we report that V30A TTR exhibits a significantly lower glabridin (Glab) binding energy than exhibited by wild-type TTR (WT TTR) in vitro. To compare changes in structural conformation induced by Glab binding to WT TTR and the V30A mutant, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used. Our results indicate that additional high-occupancy hydrogen bonds were observed at the binding interface between the two dimers in V30A TTR, while stabilisation hydrophobic interactions between residues in the mutant AB loop decreased. These results suggest that AC and BD contacts between the two dimers are positioned closer together in the mutant. Our results should provide useful clues to guide future TTR studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
