Specific binding of proinsulin C-peptide to human cell membranes.
Recent reports have demonstrated beneficial effects of proinsulin C-peptide in the diabetic state, including improvements of kidney and nerve function. To examine the background to these effects, C-peptide binding to cell membranes has been studied by using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Measurements of ligand-membrane interactions at single-molecule detection sensitivity in 0.2-fl conf...
متن کاملBactericidal activity of macromomycin, a antitumor antibiotic.
Susceptibility testing by the broth dilution method showed that all the gram-positive but only some of the gram-negative bacteria tested were susceptible to the antitumor antibiotic, macromomycin (MCR; NSC 170105). The minimal inhibitory concentration for the susceptible organisms was less than 3 mug/ml. The action of MCR was bactericidal; however, at very high concentrations (50 mug/ml and abo...
متن کاملDesigning Hybrid Antibiotic Peptide Conjugates To Cross Bacterial Membranes.
We design hybrid antibiotic peptide conjugates that can permeate membranes. Integration of multiple components with different functions into a single molecule is often problematic, due to competing chemical requirements for different functions and to mutual interference. By examining the structure of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), we show that it is possible to design and synthesize membrane ac...
متن کاملBinding dynamics of hepatitis C virus' NS5A amphipathic peptide to cell and model membranes.
Membrane association of the hepatitis C virus NS5A protein is required for viral replication. This association is dependent on an N-terminal amphipathic helix (AH) within NS5A and is restricted to a subset of host cell intracellular membranes. The mechanism underlying this specificity is not known, but it may suggest a novel strategy for developing specific antiviral therapy. Here we have probe...
متن کاملSpecific binding of human corticosteroid-binding globulin to cell membranes.
Specific binding sites for corticosteroid-binding globulin were detected on membranes prepared from human prostates. The binding sites are typical of membrane receptors: they are saturable and specific and have high affinity. There was little specific binding at 4 degrees C and 23 degrees C. Maximal specific binding was obtained at 37 degrees C. Scatchard analysis revealed the presence of a sin...
