The role of C-terminal amidation in the membrane interactions of the anionic antimicrobial peptide, maximin H5.
Maximin H5 is an anionic antimicrobial peptide from amphibians, which carries a C-terminal amide moiety, and was found to be moderately haemolytic (20%). The α-helicity of the peptide was 42% in the presence of lipid mimics of erythrocyte membranes and was found able to penetrate (10.8 mN m(-1)) and lyse these model membranes (64 %). In contrast, the deaminated peptide exhibited lower levels of...

در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...
15 صفحه اولMembrane Interactions Influence the Peptide Binding
We analyzed the binding of an influenza matrix protein-derived peptide, MAT(17-31), to cell surface and purified DR1. The pH dependence of peptide binding was dramatically influenced by the membrane environment. Cell surface binding was enhanced at low pH, with little or no binding detected at neutral pH and optimal binding at pH 4. By contrast, hydrogen ion concentration had minimal effect on ...
متن کاملPrediction of binding free energy for adsorption of antimicrobial peptide lactoferricin B on a POPC membrane.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to study the interaction of a zwitterionic palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC) bilayer with the cationic antimicrobial peptide bovine lactoferricin (LFCinB) in a 100 mM NaCl solution at 310 K. The interaction of LFCinB with POPC is used as a model system for studying the details of membrane-peptide interactions, with the peptide selected beca...
متن کاملThe aggregation and membrane-binding properties of an α-synuclein peptide fragment
α-Synuclein is a 140 amino acid protein, which is associated with presynaptic membranes in the brain, and is the major component of protein aggregates produced during the progression of many neurodegenerative diseases. It has been shown that a central hydrophobic region of α-synuclein comprising residues 71–82 is required for aggregation of the protein into the fibrillar form found in pathogeni...
