Injectable microparticle-gel system for prolonged and localized lidocaine release. I. In vitro characterization
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-09-01)
Current treatment protocol for postoperative pain is to infuse anesthetic solution around nerves or into the epidural space. This clinical practice is beset by the short duration of the anesthetic effect unless the infusion ...
Cluster distance geometry of polypeptide chains
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-07-30)
Distance geometry has been a broadly useful tool for dealing with conformational calculations. Customarily each atom is represented as a point, constraints on the distances between some atoms are obtained from experimental ...
Poly(glutamic acid) poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels prepared by photoinduced polymerization: Synthesis, characterization, and preliminary release studies of protein drugs
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2002-10)
A class of new biodegradable hydrogels based on poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate-graft-poly(glutamic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate was synthesized by photoinduced polymerization. Because all the polymeric ...
Statistical mechanics of protein folding with separable energy functions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-06-15)
We have initiated an entirely new approach to statistical mechanical models of strongly interacting systems where the configurational parameters and the potential energy function are both constructed so that the canonical ...
Injectable microparticle–gel system for prolonged and localized lidocaine release. II. in vivo anesthetic effects
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-09-01)
Current treatment protocols for postoperative pain are beset by either the short duration of the anesthetic effect or requirement of hospitalization of the patients. We reported herein a novel treatment by applying to the ...
Development of polyphosphate parameters for use with the AMBER force field
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-07-15)
Accurate force fields are essential for reproducing the conformational and dynamic behavior of condensed-phase systems. The popular AMBER force field has parameters for monophosphates, but they do not extend well to ...
Further development and validation of empirical scoring functions for structure-based binding affinity prediction
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-01)
New empirical scoring functions have been developed to estimate the binding affinity of a given protein-ligand complex with known three-dimensional structure. These scoring functions include terms accounting for van der ...
Pharmacophore and receptor models for neurokinin receptors
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-11)
Three neurokinin (NK) antagonist pharmacophore models (Models 1–3) accounting for hydrogen bonding groups in the `head' and `tail' of NK receptor ligands have been developed by use of a new procedure for treatment of ...
Surface-modified poly(lactide- co -glycolide) nanospheres for targeted bone imaging with enhanced labeling and delivery of radioisotope
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-12-01)
Surface-modified nanospheres can be utilized for targeting drugs and diagnostic agents to the bone and bone marrow while extending their circulation time in the blood stream. The surface modification of poly(lactide- co ...
A GPIIb/IIIa bioreactor for specific treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura, an autoimmune disease. Preparation, in vitro characterization, and preliminary proof-of-concept animal studies
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-12-01)
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease that affects thousands of Americans each year. The resulting thrombocytopenia, which develops from destruction of platelets (PLT) by anti-PLT autoantibodies ...
