Optimizing side chains for crystal growth from water: a case study of aromatic amide foldamers.
The growth of crystals of aromatic compounds from water much depends on the nature of the water solubilizing functions that they carry. Rationalizing crystallization from water, and structure elucidation, of aromatic molecular and supramolecular systems is of general value across various fields of chemistry. Taking helical aromatic foldamers as a test case, we have validated several short polar...
متن کاملMutations that replace aromatic side chains promote aggregation of the Alzheimer's Aβ peptide.
The aggregation of polypeptides into amyloid fibrils is associated with a number of human diseases. Because these fibrils--or intermediates on the aggregation pathway--play important roles in the etiology of disease, considerable effort has been expended to understand which features of the amino acid sequence promote aggregation. One feature suspected to direct aggregation is the π-stacking of ...
متن کاملEnantiorecognition ability of peptoids with α-chiral, aromatic side chains.
The enantiorecognition ability of oligomeric N-substituted glycines or "peptoids" with α-chiral, aromatic side chains was investigated by HPLC and (1)H NMR studies.
متن کاملA crystal base for the genetic code
The quantum enveloping algebra Uq(sl(2) ⊕ sl(2)) in the limit q → 0 is proposed as a symmetry algebra for the genetic code. In this approach the triplets of nucleotids or codons in the DNA chain are classified in crystal bases, tensor product of Uq→0(sl(2)⊕ sl(2)) representations. Such a construction might be compared to the baryon classification from quark building blocks in elementary particl...
متن کاملA study of aromatic hydrogen bonds of peptides with aromatic amino acid side-chains.
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...
