In 1977, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Roger Guillemin and Andrew Schally for their discovery and synthesis of ...

Researchers reveal how hydration shapes peptide assembly on 2D materials, offering new insights for bioelectronics and ...

Kanazawa University, report in Small, on how short peptides self-assemble linearly on atomically-thick solid surfaces, such ...

Recently, a team of researchers led by Ayhan Yurtsever, Takeshi Fukuma, and Linhao Sun from Kanazawa University, in collaboration with Yuhei Hayamizu at the Institute of Science Tokyo and Mehmet ...

We propose a mechanism for the solvolysis of the peptide bond in 98% (w/w) concentrated sulfuric acid based on the assessment of reactivity of four dipeptides at room temperature: l -alanyl- l ...

Cardiogen Peptide: Potential Mechanisms of Action Studies suggest that Cardiogen peptide may exert its impacts through several mechanisms. One hypothesis is that the peptide interacts with specific ...

The 9-amino acid peptide Oxytocin (OT) has a sulfur bridge connecting its two cysteines. Research indicates that the posterior pituitary gland, a small organ near the brain's base, may be responsible ...

The contents of Aβ40 are significantly higher than Aβ42 peptides, whereas Aβ42 peptides are more toxic and more ready to aggregate (Gu and Guo, 2013; Qiu et al., 2015). Previously, we determined the ...

However, numerous studies show that, although the unique chemical structure of proline facilitates protein folding, it also markedly impedes the rate of peptide bond formation by the ribosome. When ...

Application of a 16-pN force suppresses the motion and overall enhances the fit among domains. We proposed a model where the TCRαβ-pMHC catch bond arises due to stabilization of the interface by ...

Vancomycin prevents the incorporation of N-acetyl-muramic acid (NAM) and N-acetyl-glucosamine (NAG) peptide subunits into the peptidoglycan matrix, which is a major structural component of the cell ...
