Elucidating the Folding Problem of Helical Peptides using Empirical Parameters. III>Temperature and pH Dependence

TL;DR: In the accompanying paper the information about the conformational behaviour of helical peptides in solution, as well as the studies on alpha-helix stability in proteins has been utilised to derive a database of energy interactions, and the temperature and pH effects on the helical behaviour of peptides are included.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Unusually Stable Quaternary Structure of Human Cu,Zn-Superoxide Dismutase 1 Is Controlled by Both Metal Occupancy and Disulfide Status

TL;DR: It is concluded that only the most immature form of hSOD1, i.e. one without any post-translational modifications, favors the monomeric state under physiological conditions, which provides a basis for understanding the selectivity of mitochondrial SOD1 import and may be relevant to the toxic properties of mutant forms of hO2 that can cause the familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA recognition by an isolated α helix

TL;DR: The results suggest that interactions with the RNA backbone may help to orient the α helix in the major groove of RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

The amino terminus of ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) is a critical determinant of ARF activities and is a potent and specific inhibitor of protein transport.

TL;DR: It is concluded that ARF is required for the budding of coated vesicles from the Golgi stacks and serves a regulatory role in protein secretion through the Gol Gi in eukaryotic cells.
Book ChapterDOI

Lysozyme and alpha-lactalbumin: structure, function, and interrelationships.

TL;DR: This chapter considers both the structure and function of α-lactalbumin and lysozyme in relation to each other, and also the potential significance of the studies in health and the pathology of disease, such as cancer.
