Structure and mechanism of beta-hairpin antimicrobial peptides in lipid bilayers from solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
The membrane-bound structure, lipid interaction, and dynamics of the arginine-rich beta-hairpin antimicrobial peptide PG-1 as studied by solid-state NMR are highlighted here. A variety of solid-state NMR techniques, including paramagnetic relaxation enhancement, (1)H and (19)F spin diffusion, dipolar recoupling distance experiments, and 2D anisotropic-isotropic correlation experiments, are used...
متن کاملCharacterization of Peek (polyaryletheretherketone) Polymers by Solid-state Nmr Spectroscopy
The family of poly(aryletherketone) or PAEK polymers are of great interest for extreme service environments in the oil and gas industry. These materials (PEEK’s, PEK’s, PEKEKK’s etc) are often used in environments of high pressures and temperatures, while being exposed to steam, water based drilling fluids or brines, or other corrosive chemical cocktails that are highly acidic, oxidizing or cau...
متن کاملStructural characterization of polyglutamine fibrils by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
Protein aggregation via polyglutamine stretches occurs in a number of severe neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease. We have investigated fibrillar aggregates of polyglutamine peptides below, at, and above the toxicity limit of around 37 glutamine residues using solid-state NMR and electron microscopy. Experimental data are consistent with a dry fibril core of at least 70-80 Å ...
متن کاملSolid-State NMR Spectroscopy
A number of arylamides have been synthesized and found to exhibit potent antimicrobial activities against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria while exhibiting low toxicity toward eukaryotic cells. These facially amphiphilic foldamers have a relatively rigid intramolecular hydrogen-bonded arylamide as a framework, which places trifluormethyl versus positively charged ami...
متن کاملEndotoxin neutralization by lactoferricin-derived antimicrobial peptides
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), if released from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria during blood stream infections, is causative for sepsis and septic shock syndrome, and thus is denominated endotoxin. Septic shock is characterized by an massive activation of human immune cells by LPS to produce proinflammatory cytokines leading to an overbording systemic response of the immune system and c...
