Effective stabilisation of alpha-helical structures in short peptides with acetylenic cross-linking agents.
Supplementary Information General Materials. The starting materials were all commercially available, and 1,4-bis(2hydroxyethoxy)-2-butyne (5b) and 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol (8) were prepared according to the literature procedures. The cross-linking agents 3a, 3b, and 4b were reported previously, however, the physical and spectroscopic data of 4b were not described in the literature and were presen...
متن کاملSalt-resistant alpha-helical cationic antimicrobial peptides.
Analogues based on the insect cecropin-bee melittin hybrid peptide (CEME) were studied and analyzed for activity and salt resistance. The new variants were designed to have an increase in amphipathic alpha-helical content (CP29 and CP26) and in overall positive charge (CP26). The alpha-helicity of these peptides was demonstrated by circular dichroism spectroscopy in the presence of liposomes. C...
متن کاملPhotoreversible DNA end capping for the formation of hairpin structures.
We describe a photoreversible DNA end capping via 3-cyanovinylcarbazole nucleoside. Doubly end-capped oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) exhibits increased stability against snake venom phosphodiesterase and shows high thermal stability.
متن کاملBiological properties of structurally related alpha-helical cationic antimicrobial peptides.
A series of alpha-helical cationic antimicrobial peptide variants with small amino acid changes was designed. Alterations in the charge, hydrophobicity, or length of the variant peptides did not improve the antimicrobial activity, and there was no statistically significant correlation between any of these factors and the MIC for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, or Salmonella typhimuriu...
متن کاملPhase diagram of alpha-helical and beta-sheet forming peptides.
The intrinsic property of proteins to form structural motifs such as alpha helices and beta sheets leads to a complex phase behavior in which proteins can assemble into various types of aggregates including crystals, liquidlike phases of unfolded or natively folded proteins, and amyloid fibrils. Here we use a coarse-grained protein model that enables us to perform Monte Carlo simulations for de...
