Super-helices self-assembled from a binary system of amphiphilic polypeptide block copolymers and polypeptide homopolymers.
We report here a discovery that amphiphilic polypeptide block copolymers and polypeptide homopolymers are able to aggregate together into super-helical structures of rods and rings, in which polypeptide chains form the core and PEG chains form the shell.
متن کاملTime Course Analysis of Enzyme-Catalyzed DNA Polymerization.
Extracting kinetic parameters from DNA polymerase-catalyzed processive polymerization data using traditional initial-rate analysis has proven to be problematic for multiple reasons. The first substrate, DNA template, is a heterogeneous polymer and binds tightly to DNA polymerase. Further, the affinity and speed of incorporation of the second substrate, deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP), vary ...
متن کاملPolypeptide helices in hybrid peptide sequences.
A new class of polypeptide helices in hybrid sequences containing alpha-, beta-, and gamma-residues is described. The molecular conformations in crystals determined for the synthetic peptides Boc-Leu-Phe-Val-Aib-betaPhe-Leu-Phe-Val-OMe 1 (betaPhe: (S)-beta3-homophenylalanine) and Boc-Aib-Gpn-Aib-Gpn-OMe 2(Gpn: 1-(aminomethyl)cyclohexaneacetic acid) reveal expanded helical turns in the hybrid se...
متن کاملEffect of additives on enzyme-catalyzed polymerization of phenols and aromatic amines.
Among biological approaches to the removal of aromatic amines and phenols from wastewater, the so-called enzyme-catalyzed polymerization and precipitation (ECPP) process relies on the use of oxidoreductases acting via radical mechanisms and characterized by a rather relaxed substrate specificity, such as laccase, tyrosinase and peroxidases. The main technical constraints of ECPP processes are d...
متن کاملSupramolecular polymerization from polypeptide-grafted comb polymers.
The helical and tubular structures self-assembled from proteins have inspired scientists to design synthetic building blocks that can be "polymerized" into supramolecular polymers through coordinated noncovalent interactions. However, cooperative supramolecular polymerization from large, synthetic macromolecules remains a challenge because of the difficulty of controlling the structure and inte...
