Despite of considerable progress in the research at the interface of Chemistry, Biology and Medicine, neurodegenerative diseases affect more and more seriously our ageing population and remain a real therapeutic challenge for researcher. Nevertheless, adva ...
The structural and thermodn. properties of a 6-residue β-peptide I that was designed to form a hairpin conformation have been studied by NMR spectroscopy and mol. dynamics simulation in methanol soln. The predicted hairpin would be characterized by a 10-me ...
Bicyclic peptides generated through directed evolution by using phage display offer an attractive ligand format for the development of therapeutics. Being nearly 100-fold smaller than antibodies, they promise advantages such as access to chemical synthesis ...
Conformational transitions have found broad interest due to their impact on protein misfolding and self-assembly as key events leading to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. However, investigation of these dynamic events has been limited so far ...
Analogues of the opioid peptides [D-Phe(3)]morphiceptin (H-Tyr-Pro-D-Phe-Pro-NH2) and endomorphin-2 (H-Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2) containing the pseudoproline (Psi Pro) (4R)-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (CyS[Psi (R1,R2) pro]) or (4S)-oxazolidine-4-carboxylic a ...
Centrin, an EF-hand calcium-binding protein, has been shown to be involved in the duplication of centrosomes, and Sfi1 (Suppressor of fermentation-induced loss of stress resistance protein 1) is one of its centrosomal targets. There are three isoforms of h ...
Combinatorial libraries of structurally diverse peptide macrocycles offer a rich source for the development of high-affinity ligands to targets of interest. In this work we have developed linkers for the generation of genetically encoded bicyclic peptides ...
The physical chemistry of bio molecules in the gas phase is progressing at a rapid pace. One of the most promising areas is the determination of the conformations of biologically important molecules. Quantitative determination of their relative energies is ...
This feature article provides a compilation of tools available for preparing well-defined peptide/protein–polymer conjugates, which are defined as hybrid constructs combining (i) a defined number of peptide/protein segments with uniform chain lengths and d ...
Conformational transitions of peptides and proteins have recently moved to the center of interest in various domains of research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine due to their implication in an increasing number of diseases in which the ...
