Computational Studies on Acetylcholinesterases

Functions of biomolecules, in particular enzymes, are usually modulated by structural fluctuations.This is especially the case in a gated diffusion-controlled reaction catalyzed by an enzyme such as acetylcholinesterase.The catalytic triad of acetylcholinesterase is located at the bottom of a long and narrow gorge, but it catalyzes the extremely ra

Prognostic impact of reduced HER2 protein expression in post-neoadjuvant therapy resection specimens: A single institution experience and review of the literature

Background: Retesting for Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) in post-neoadjuvant therapy resection is variable, and data is conflicting regarding the prognostic significance of changes in HER2 expression pre and post therapy.Methods: We identified 104 patients with localized HER2 IHC 3+ breast cancer who received neoadjuvant trastuzuma
