Conformational behavior of ionic self-complementary peptides.
Several de novo designed ionic peptides that are able to undergo conformational change under the influence of temperature and pH were studied. These peptides have two distinct surfaces with regular repeats of alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic side chains. This permits extensive ionic and hydrophobic interactions resulting in the formation of stable beta-sheet assemblies. The other definin...
متن کاملMechanical Properties of Ionic Self-Complementary Oligopeptide Biomaterials
The materials used in medical science are a primary area of research in the development of tissue engineering therapies. There is an urgent need for a great number of materials that can meet the wide range of requirements imposed by biomedical applications. Ionic self-complementary oligopeptide biomaterials are a new class of synthetic materials with great potential for medical use. The objecti...
متن کاملControl Processes and Self-Organization as Complementary Principles Underlying Behavior
This article addresses the convergence and complementarity between self-regulatory control-process models of behavior and dynamic systems models. The control-process view holds that people have a goal in mind and try to move toward it (or away from it), monitoring the extent to which a discrepancy remains between the goal and one’s present state and taking steps to reduce the discrepancy (or en...
متن کاملHow Ionic Strength Affects the Conformational Behavior of Human and Rat Beta Amyloids – A Computational Study
Progressive cerebral deposition of amyloid beta occurs in Alzheimers disease and during the aging of certain mammals (human, monkey, dog, bear, cow, cat) but not others (rat, mouse). It is possibly due to different amino acid sequences at positions 5, 10 and 13. To address this issue, we performed series of 100 ns long trajectories (each trajectory was run twice with different initial velocity ...
متن کاملConformational Analysis of Benzyloxycarbonyl-Protected Peptides
The benzyloxycarbonyl (Z-) residue, an important protecting group in peptide synthesis, was introduced into the input data set o f the “Empirical Conformational Energy Program for Peptides” (ECEPP) developed by Scheraga and coworkers. With additional modifications ECEPP is now prepared for conformational analysis o f peptides containing this amino end group. Preferred conformations o f the Z-re...
