Spider-Venom Peptides as Therapeutics
Spiders are the most successful venomous animals and the most abundant terrestrial predators. Their remarkable success is due in large part to their ingenious exploitation of silk and the evolution of pharmacologically complex venoms that ensure rapid subjugation of prey. Most spider venoms are dominated by disulfide-rich peptides that typically have high affinity and specificity for particular...
متن کاملBio-Inspired Vision Processor for Ultra-Fast Object Categorization
We present a scalable hardware architecture to implement large-scale bio-inspired synthetic vision systems. The system is a fully digital implementation of a modular vision engine that can perform real-time detection, recognition and segmentation of mega-pixel images. We present performance comparisons between software versions of the vision system executing on CPU and GPU machines, and show th...
متن کاملAntimalarial activity of ultra-short peptides.
Ultra-short peptides 1-9 were designed and synthesized with phenylalanine, ornithine and proline amino acid residues and their effect on antimalarial activity was analyzed. On the basis of the IC(50) data for these compounds, the effects of nature, polarity, and amino acid sequence on Plasmodium berghei schizont cultures were analyzed too. Tetrapeptides Phe-Orn-Phe-Orn (4) and Lys-Phe-Phe-Orn (...
متن کاملPeptides as therapeutics with enhanced bioactivity.
The development of techniques for efficient peptide production renewed interest in peptides as therapeutics. Numerous modifications for improving stability, transport and affinity profiles now exist. Several new adjuvant and carrier systems have also been developed, enhancing the immunogenicity of peptides thus allowing their development as vaccines. This review describes the established and ex...
متن کاملPeptides as Potential Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease.
Intracellular synthesis, folding, trafficking and degradation of proteins are controlled and integrated by proteostasis. The frequency of protein misfolding disorders in the human population, e.g., in Alzheimer's disease (AD), is increasing due to the aging population. AD treatment options are limited to symptomatic interventions that at best slow-down disease progression. The key biochemical c...
