In order to study the tendency of amino acid neighbors in helical structures, proteins with known structures were carefully analyzed. The studied helical positions: N , Ncap, N1, N2, N3, N4, M, C4, C3, C2, C1, Ccap, C and their doublet counterparts: N Ncap, NcapN1, N1N2, N2N3, N3N4, M1M2, M2M3, C4C3, C3C2, C2C1, C1Ccap, CcapC were carefully analyzed. The propensity for all amino acids i...
متن کاملHelix propensity of highly fluorinated amino acids.
Highly fluorinated amino acids have been used to stabilize helical proteins for potential application in various protein-based biotechnologies. To gain further insight into the effect of these highly fluorinated amino acids on helix formation exclusively, we measured the helix propensity of three highly fluorinated amino acids: (S)-5,5,5,5',5',5'-hexafluoroleucine (Hfl), (S)-2-amino-4,4,4-trifl...
متن کاملStructure-activity studies of 14-helical antimicrobial beta-peptides: probing the relationship between conformational stability and antimicrobial potency.
Antimicrobial alpha-helical alpha-peptides are part of the host-defense mechanism of multicellular organisms and could find therapeutic use against bacteria that are resistant to conventional antibiotics. Recent work from Hamuro et al. has shown that oligomers of beta-amino acids ("beta-peptides") that can adopt an amphiphilic helix defined by 14-membered ring hydrogen bonds ("14-helix") are ac...
متن کاملa-Helix Propensities of Nonpolar Amino Acids Predicted by Monte Carlo Simulated Annealing*
Monte Carlo simulated annealing is applied to the study of o-helix propensities of seven nonpolar amino acids, Ala, Leu, Met, Phe, Ile, Val, and Gly. Homopolymers of 10 amino acids are used and the propensity is calculated by folding cz-helicies from completely random initial conformations. The results suggest the large differences in propensities between helix former and breaker in agreement w...
متن کاملIn silico structural analysis of quorum sensing genes in Vibrio fischeri
Quorum sensing controls the luminescence of Vibrio fischeri through the transcriptional activator LuxR and the specific autoinducer signal produced by luxI. Amino acid sequences of these two genes were analyzed using bioinformatics tools. LuxI consists of 193 amino acids and appears to contain five α-helices and six ß-sheets when analyzed by SSpro8. LuxI belongs to the autoinducer synthetase fa...
