| Abstract | Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. The major characteristics of PD include the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and Lewy body depositions. Genetic defects, environment toxicants, and aging have been recognized as risk factors for the development of PD. Currently, although the pathogenesis of PD is still obscure, overwhelming evidence demonstrates that oxidative stress plays a central role in the progress of PD. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) function mainly through chemical reactions with atomic targets that lead to covalent oxidative modifications. Through the oxidative modification of ions, amino acids, amines, and nucleic acids, ROS exert augmented effects on the structures and functions of multiple macromolecules. These oxidative modifications can affect nucleic acid stability by oxidizing RNA, increasing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation, and launching translesion synthesis (TLS); disturb protein homeostasis by accelerating α-synuclein aggregation, parkin aggregation, and proteasome dissociation; modulate dopamine release by activating ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K$_{ATP}$) and inactivating neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs); and influence cellular self-defenses by promoting the cytoprotective effects of DJ-1 and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) while inducing Akt dysregulation. Based on the above facts, we propose that various oxidative modifications may affect nucleic acid stability, protein homeostasis, the functionality of ion channels, and cellular self-defenses and that these processes lead to protein misfolding, dopamine depletion, and further neuronal death in PD. |

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.
