The atomic force microscope acquires topographs of single native membrane proteins at subnanometer resolution. Owing to the high signal-to-noise ratio, such images allow the conformational space of membrane protein surfaces to be sampled. This is demonstra ...
Absolute uniform chain lengths and amino acid sequences as well as well-defined folding patterns that determine structure and properties characterize natural proteins. Advances in chemical and biological peptide synthesis allow improved control over the co ...
Deciphering the mechanism(s) of beta-sheet mediated self-assembly is essential for understanding amyloid fibril formation and for the fabrication of polypeptide materials. Herein, we report a simple peptidomimetic that self-assembles into polymorphic beta- ...
The construction of protein-like folding motifs as structurally stable scaffolds for the introduction of function represents a major goal in protein design. The use of topol. templates allows the bypass of the well-known folding problem of linear polypepti ...
Arterial structure plays an important role in drug delivery from intraarterial depots. The internal elastic lamina forms a major diffusive resistance to the transport of macromol. drugs from intimally-adherent hydrogel depots to the arterial media. The obj ...
A simple approach to the in situ measurement of IR spectra of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold in an aq. environment is described. A thin gold film (3-5 nm) on the surface of a germanium internal reflection element is used as a substrate for the se ...
Membrane proteins fulfill many central functions in the biological membrane. The insertion process of these proteins and their structure, which are intimately linked to their function, are not yet well understood. As a model we studied three proteins recon ...
We report the sequence, structure and distribution of a novel transient receptor potential (trp) homologue from Xenopus, Xtrp, determined by screening an oocyte cDNA library. On the basis of sequence similarity and predicted structure, Xtrp appears to be a ...
beta-Hexapeptides and a beta-dodecapeptide with sequences contg. two different types of beta-amino acids, aliph. proteinaceous side-chains in 2- or 3-position, were studied with CD and NMR measurements. With one exception, the secondary structures formed b ...
Conformational changes occurring upon membrane binding and subsequent insertion of staphylococcal alpha-toxin were studied using complementary spectroscopic techniques. Experimental conditions were established where binding could be uncoupled from membrane ...
