Gene product 5 (gp5) of bacteriophage T4 is a spike-shaped protein that functions to disrupt the membrane of the target cell during phage infection. Its C-terminal domain is a long and slender -helix that is formed by three polypeptide chains wrapped aroun ...
The cyclic AMP-dependent transcriptional regulator GlxR from Corynebacterium glutamicum is a member of the super-family of CRP/FNR (cyclic AMP receptor protein/fumarate and nitrate reduction regulator) transcriptional regulators that play central roles in ...
It is known that a C-terminal lysine stabilizes helix formation in polyalanine peptides that have seven or more residues. Using a combination of cold ion spectroscopy and DFT calculations, we demonstrate that even a three-residue peptide, Ac-Phe-Ala-LysH+, ...
We report on the characteristics of the radical-ion-driven dissociation of a diverse array of beta-amino acids incorporated into alpha-peptides, as probed by tandem electron-capture and electron-transfer dissociation (ECD/ETD) mass spectrometry. The report ...
Conformationally constrained peptide ligands offer an attractive format for the development of therapeutics. They can bind with high affinity and selectivity to protein targets, they are small enough to diffuse into tissues, they can be synthesized chemica ...
The dynamics of peptide α-helices have been studied extensively for many years, and the kinetic mechanism of the helix-coil dynamics has been discussed controversially. Recent experimental results have suggested that equilibrium helix-coil dynamics are gov ...
Asym. synthesis of lemonomycinone amide was accomplished from readily accessible starting materials. Enantioselective alkylation of N-(diphenylmethylene)glycine tert-Bu ester by 5-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2,4-dimethoxy-3-methylbenzyl bromide in the prese ...
The conformation of model Arg(Ala)(4)X(Ala)(4)Lys+2H and Arg(Gly)(4)X(Gly)(4)Lys+2H peptides has been systematically investigated as a function of the central amino acid X through a combined experimental and theoretical approach. Mass spectrome ...
An amino or thiol linker building block for the synthesis of amino or thiol functionalized amino acids and generally of the following structure: Formula XII is provided. Such building block may be introduced in the 5' end position of an amino acid under st ...
Peptide based and peptide hybrid materials represent two interesting and challenging classes of biomaterials. Both classes consist of and contain, respectively, one or more polypeptide blocks, endowing the resulting polymers with enhanced self-assembly pro ...
