متن کاملSynthetic peptides as inactivators of multimeric enzymes: inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum triosephosphate isomerase by interface peptides.
Synthetic peptides corresponding to two distinct segments of the subunit interface of the homodimeric enzyme triosephosphate isomerase (residues 9-18, ANWKCNGTLE, peptide I; residues 68-79, KFGNGSYTGEVS, peptide II) from Plasmodium falciparum (PfTIM) have been investigated for their ability to act as inhibitors by interfering with the quaternary structure of the enzyme. An analog of peptide II ...
متن کاملProtein matrices for improved wound healing: elastase inhibition by a synthetic peptide model.
The unique properties of silk fibroin were combined with keratin to develop new wound-dressing materials. Silk fibroin/keratin (SF/K) films were prepared to reduce high levels of elastase found on chronic wounds. This improved biological function was achieved by the incorporation of a small peptide synthesized based on the reactive-site loop of the Bowman-Birk Inhibitor (BBI) protein. In vitro ...
متن کاملSilica precipitation with synthetic silaffin peptides.
Silaffins are highly charged proteins which are one of the major contributing compounds that are thought to be responsible for the formation of the hierarchically structured silica-based cell walls of diatoms. Here we describe the synthesis of an oligo-propyleneamine substituted lysine derivative and its incorporation into the KXXK peptide motif occurring repeatedly in silaffins. N(ε)-alkylatio...
متن کاملDesign of peptides interfering with iron-dependent regulator (IdeR) and evaluation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth inhibition
Objective(s): Tuberculosis (TB), a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), stayed a global health thread with high mortality rate. Since TB has a long-term treatment, it leads high risk of drug resistant development, and there is an urgent to find new drugs. The aim of this study was designing new inhibitors for a new drug target, iron dependent regulator, IdeR. Materials and Method...
