Can Mutational Analysis Be Used To Assist Structure Determination of Peptides?

Thomas Rizzo, Liudmila Voronina, Valeriu Scutelnic, Chiara Masellis

Mutational analysis is widely used to study the relationship between sequence and structure of proteins and peptides. It is often assumed that substituting a proline with another amino acid "locks" the peptide bond in the trans conformation, allowing only ...

Conformations of prolyl-peptide bonds in the bradykinin 1-5 fragment in solution and in the gas phase

Thomas Rizzo, Antoine Louis Claude Masson, Michael Zachary Kamrath, Liudmila Voronina, Carsten Baldauf

The dynamic nature of intrinsically disordered peptides makes them a challenge to characterize by solution-phase techniques. In order to gain insight into the relation between the disordered state and the environment, we explore the conformational space of ...

Gas-phase probes of kinetically trapped peptides

Liudmila Voronina

Gas-phase techniques are promising for studying intrinsically disordered peptides and proteins, as they can be implemented in a conformer-selective way. One of the issues that prevent them from finding a broader use is the question of to which extent the s ...

Spectroscopic studies of kinetically trapped conformations in the gas phase: the case of triply protonated bradykinin

Thomas Rizzo, Liudmila Voronina

Understanding the relation between the gas-phase structure of biological molecules and their solution-phase structure is important when attempting to use gas-phase techniques to address biologically relevant questions. Directly after electrospray ionizatio ...
