Membrane Association Landscape of Myelin Basic Protein Portrays Formation of the Myelin Major Dense Line
Raasakka, Arne; Ruskamo, Salla; Kowal, Julia; Barker, Robert; Baumann, Anne; Martel, Anne; Tuusa, Jussi; Myllykoski, Matti; Bürck, Jochen; Ulrich, Anne S.; Stahlberg, Henning; Kursula, Petri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-10)Compact myelin comprises most of the dry weight of myelin, and its insulative nature is the basis for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses. The major dense line (MDL) is a 3-nm compartment between two cytoplasmic leaflets ... -
Myelin-derived and putative molecular mimic peptides share structural properties in aqueous and membrane-like environments
Tuusa, Jussi; Raasakka, Arne; Ruskamo, Salla; Kursula, Petri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03-24)Background: Despite intense research, the causes of various neurological diseases remain enigmatic to date.
