Using ion channel-forming peptides to quantify protein-ligand interactions.
This paper proposes a method for sensing affinity interactions by triggering disruption of self-assembly of ion channel-forming peptides in planar lipid bilayers. It shows that the binding of a derivative of alamethicin carrying a covalently attached sulfonamide ligand to carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) resulted in the inhibition of ion channel conductance through the bilayer. We propose that the...
متن کاملThe design, synthesis and characterisation of channel-forming peptides.
Synthetic peptides designed using criteria derived from statistical analyses of beta-barrel membrane proteins form channels in synthetic membranes at very low peptide:lipid ratios.
متن کاملConformation and environment of channel-forming peptides: a simulation study.
Ion channel-forming peptides enable us to study the conformational dynamics of a transmembrane helix as a function of sequence and environment. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the conformation and dynamics of three 22-residue peptides derived from the second transmembrane domain of the glycine receptor (NK4-M2GlyR-p22). Simulations are performed on the peptide in four different...
متن کاملAll-D amino acid-containing channel-forming antibiotic peptides.
The D enantiomers of three naturally occurring antibiotics--cecropin A, magainin 2 amide, and melittin--were synthesized. In addition, the D enantiomers of two synthetic chimeric cecropin-melittin hybrid peptides were prepared. Each D isomer was shown by circular dichroism to be a mirror image of the corresponding L isomer in several solvent mixtures. In 20% hexafluoro-2-propanol the peptides c...
متن کاملUsing experimental indices to quantify the strength of species interactions
Few methods for demonstrating the effects of species interactions rival that of the manipulative experiment (Kareiva and Levin 2002). !e now commonly performed removal or addition of predators, competitors, or mutualists to experimentally replicated populations of recipient species has irrefutably shown that species can have important effects on each other’s populations, and that the strengths ...
