Coiled coils are protein structure domains with two or more alpha-helices packed together via interlacing of side chains known as knob-into-hole packing. We analysed and classified a large set of coiled-coil structures using a combination of automated and manual methods. This led to a systematic classification that we termed a "periodic table of coiled coils," which we have made available at http://coiledcoils.chm.bris.ac.uk/ccplus/search/periodic_table. In this table, coiled-coil assemblies are arranged in columns with increasing numbers of alpha-helices and in rows of increased complexity. The table provides a framework for understanding possibilities in and limits on coiled-coil structures and a basis for future prediction, engineering and design studies.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Naoluoxintong (NLXT) is a traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) prescription that is clinically used in the treatment of ischemic stroke (IS). However, its therapeutic mechanism remains unclear.
Aim Of The Study: To obtain the mechanism of NLXT by observing the protective effects of NLXT on the NogoA/RhoA/Rock pathway in a rat model of IS by regulating DNA methylation.

To investigate the effect and mechanism of hydroxyfasudi (HF), a specific Rho kinase inhibitor, on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)induced endothelial dysfunction. A total of 24 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group(=6), HF group(=6), LPS group(=6) and LPS + HF group(=6) with random number table method. There was no special treatment in control group.
