 Molecules 

Molecules MS-BLOCK compounds are Open Access Molecules.

MS-BLOCK peptides present the residues in the feature that are common to TMEV, myelin P2, and CRABP. These peptides are expected to bind antibodies to any of the myelin P2-like helices (the “MS Epitope”) or CRABP-like helices found on the diverse set of picornaviruses studied. Sequences are given for two MS-BLOCK cyclized peptides derived, separately, from myelin P2 protein and CRABP. Clinical applications for these MS-BLOCK peptides may potentially include detection and treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

picornavirus correlates Common Features in Picornaviruses, Alpha-bungarotoxin, Myelin P2, and CRABP Suggest Structural Bases for Multiple Sclerosis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and Paralysis Induction (HTML)  (12 MB PDF)  (6 MB PDF)

We found the structural correlates of multiple sclerosis induction and paralysis induction in picornaviruses and proteins. We identified in picornaviruses what appears to be an ion channel and, separately, a diaphragm shutter-like pore. This study provides an analytic procedure for understanding the structural context of expanded tissue preferences and pathology in historical and emergent viruses.
