Journal ArticleDOI

Using low-E resonators to reduce RF heating in biological samples for static solid-state NMR up to 900 MHz

TL;DR: This work describes specially designed, large volume, low-E 15N-1H solid-state NMR probes developed for 600 and 900 MHz PISEMA studies of dilute membrane proteins oriented in hydrated and dielectrically lossy lipid bilayers using an orthogonal coil design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noncontact Dipole Effects on Channel Permeation. I. Experiments with (5F-Indole)Trp13 Gramicidin A Channels

TL;DR: Observations indicate that fluorination does not change the rotameric conformation of the side chain, and Eadie-Hofstee plot slopes suggest similar destabilization of K+ binding in both lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Resolution Structures and Orientations of Antimicrobial Peptides Piscidin 1 and Piscidin 3 in Fluid Bilayers Reveal Tilting, Kinking, and Bilayer Immersion

TL;DR: Structural refinement of 1H–15N dipolar couplings and 15N chemical shifts measured by oriented sample solid-state NMR and all-atom molecular dynamics simulations provide structural and orientational information of high precision and accuracy about these interfacially bound α-helical peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclease Activity Gives an Edge to Host-Defense Peptide Piscidin 3 over Piscidin 1, Rendering it more Effective against Persisters and Biofilms

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the N‐termini of both peptides coordinate Cu2+ and p3‐Cu cleaves isolated DNA at a rate on par with free Cu2 + but significantly faster than p1‐Cu, which is commensurate with stronger peptide‐induced DNA damage.
