چکیده
The importance of hydrogen bonding studies lies in their structural, biological and medicinal applications. Non-conventional hydrogen bonds are weak, but are found to play an important role in biological molecules. In view of their importance,a study of the aromatic hydrogen bonds in peptides with aromatic amino acid side chains was carried out. The results indicate a reasonable probability for their occurrence, thereby enumerating their distinct features.

A Comparative Molecular Similarity Index Analysis (CoMSIA) study identifies an HLA-A2 binding supermotif
The 3D-QSAR CoMSIA technique was applied to a set of 458 peptides binding to the five most widespread HLA-A2-like alleles: A*0201, A*0202, A*0203, A*0206 and A*6802. Models comprising the main physicochemical properties (steric bulk, electron density, hydrophobicity and hydrogen-bond formation abilities) were obtained with acceptable predictivity (q2 ranged from 0.385 to 0.683). The use of coef...

Carefully chosen peptide systems can provide valuable insights into the details of protein folding. Construction of the secondary structures most commonly observed in proteins, namely a-helices and b-sheets, from constrained amino acid residues allows detailed investigation of the factors driving the folding and stability of these structural scaffolds. Structure formation in these cases is driv...
متن کاملThe estimation of affinity constants for the binding of model peptides to DNA by equilibrium dialysis.
The binding of lysine model peptides of the type Lys-X-Lys, Lys-X-X-Lys and Lys-X-X-X-Lys (X = different aliphatic and aromatic amino acids) has been studied by equilibrium dialysis. It was shown that the strong electrostatic binding forces generated by protonated amino groups of lysine can be distinguished from the weak forces stemming from neutral and aromatic spacer amino acids. The overall ...

In this study, the effect of the secondary structure of the protein on the acid strength of three structures of random (R), alpha helix (α) and beta sheet (b) were investigated theoretically. These structures are related to the cationic amino acids of histidine and lysine in the polypeptide chain of eight-glycine residue. Computational methods at the HF, B3LYP, X3LYP and M05-2X levels in t...
