Novel pH-Sensitive Cyclic Peptides
A series of cyclic peptides containing a number of tryptophan (W) and glutamic acid (E) residues were synthesized and evaluated as pH-sensitive agents for targeting of acidic tissue and pH-dependent cytoplasmic delivery of molecules. Biophysical studies revealed the molecular mechanism of peptides action and localization within the lipid bilayer of the membrane at high and low pHs. The symmetri...
متن کاملRacemization and epimerization.
In recent reports (I ) the term racemization is used inappropriately. It is stated in both reports that Lisoleucine racemizes to D-alloisoleucine. This reaction is epimerization, not racemization. Racemization of L-iSOleucine results in the formation of DLisoleucine. As stated in Eliel (2): "'racemization is the process of producing a racemic modification starting with one of the pure enantiome...
متن کاملUtilization of methionine-containing peptides and their derivatives by a methionine-requiring auxotroph of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
A number of peptides containing methionine and glycine, such as Met-Met-Gly, Met-Met-Gly-Met, and Met-MetGly-Gly, were synthesized by conventional techniques. The growth response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae G1333, a methionine-requiring auxotroph, toward various di, tri, and tetrapeptides containing methionine was measured. The yeast mutant utilized and contained peptidase activity toward most ...
متن کاملThe evolution of Momordica cyclic peptides.
Cyclic proteins have evolved for millions of years across all kingdoms of life to confer structural stability over their acyclic counterparts while maintaining intrinsic functional properties. Here, we show that cyclic miniproteins (or peptides) from Momordica (Cucurbitaceae) seeds evolved in species that diverged from an African ancestor around 19 Ma. The ability to achieve head-to-tail cycliz...
متن کاملToward structure prediction of cyclic peptides.
Cyclic peptides are a promising class of molecules that can be used to target specific protein-protein interactions. A computational method to accurately predict their structures would substantially advance the development of cyclic peptides as modulators of protein-protein interactions. Here, we develop a computational method that integrates bias-exchange metadynamics simulations, a Boltzmann ...
