Medicinal Plants with neuroprotective effects

Neuroprotection is the preservation of the structure and function of neurons from insults from cellular injuries caused by a variety of agents or neurodegenerative diseases. Medicinal plants possess neuroprotective effects via mechanisms that include inhibiting protein-based deposit accumulation, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, and correcting defects of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine and dopamine [1-3]. The current review will highlight the neuroprotective effects of medicinal plants.

Impact of porous nanomaterials on inhibiting protein aggregation behaviour

Aggregation of intrinsically disordered as well as the ordered proteins under certain premises or physiological conditions leads to pathological disorder.

Correction: Rational design of a stapled JAZ9 peptide inhibiting protein–protein interaction of a plant transcription factor

Correction for ‘Rational design of a stapled JAZ9 peptide inhibiting protein–protein interaction of a plant transcription factor’ by Kaho Suzuki et al., RSC Chem. Biol., 2021, DOI: 10.1039/d0cb00204f.

Rational design of a stapled JAZ9 peptide inhibiting protein–protein interaction of a plant transcription factor

A rationally designed stapled JAZ peptide selectively inhibited MYCs, master-regulators of the jasmonate signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana. It is proposed as a novel chemical tool for the analysis of MYC related jasmonate signaling.
