Supramolecular helical nanofibers assembled from a pyridinium-functionalized methyl glycyrrhetate amphiphile.
A glycyrrhetate-containing amphiphile, MGP (1-[2-(methyl glycyrrhetate)-2-oxoethyl]pyridinium bromide), has been synthesized, and found to assemble into supramolecular helical nanofibers in chloroform/aromatic solvents, which are primarily driven by π-π stacking, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic interactions. During the assembly process, MGP stacked into J-aggregates resulting in the seque...
متن کاملRapid Identification of Malaria Vaccine Candidates Based on α-Helical Coiled Coil Protein Motif
To identify malaria antigens for vaccine development, we selected alpha-helical coiled coil domains of proteins predicted to be present in the parasite erythrocytic stage. The corresponding synthetic peptides are expected to mimic structurally "native" epitopes. Indeed the 95 chemically synthesized peptides were all specifically recognized by human immune sera, though at various prevalence. Pep...
متن کاملDesign of a Multi-epitope Peptide Vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 based on Immunoinformatics Data
Background and purpose: In 2019, the world has witnessed the emergence of a virus that caused acute respiratory distress syndrome in human with high mortality rates (approximately 3.7%). So far, no effective treatment has been proven against COVID-19. This study aimed at designing a multi-epitope vaccine combining several T-cell and B-cell epitopes of the SARS-CoV-2. Materials and methods: Bas...
متن کاملBioinspired self-assembled peptide nanofibers with thermostable multivalent α-helices.
The stabilization of peptide's active conformation is a critical determinant of its target binding efficiency. Here we present a structure-based self-assembly strategy for the design of nanostructures with multiple and thermostable α-helices using bioinspired peptide amphiphiles. The design principle was inspired by the oligomerization of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) Rev prot...
متن کاملFunctionalized α-Helical Peptide Hydrogels for Neural Tissue Engineering
Trauma to the central and peripheral nervous systems often lead to serious morbidity. Current surgical methods for repairing or replacing such damage have limitations. Tissue engineering offers a potential alternative. Here we show that functionalized α-helical-peptide hydrogels can be used to induce attachment, migration, proliferation and differentiation of murine embryonic neural stem cells ...
