The Importance of Stereochemically Active Lone Pairs For Influencing Pb(II) and As(III) Protein Binding

TL;DR: Two complementary approaches demonstrate the potential importance of a stereochemically active lone pair as a metal recognition mode in proteins and, specifically, how the second coordination sphere environment affects the affinity and selectivity of protein targets by certain toxic ions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of peptides for helical prediction.

TL;DR: The magnitude of the change observed in the midpoint of the thermal transitions suggests that the effect of single amino acid replacements on helix formation should be experimentally measurable.

Studies on secondary structure in chicken egg-white lysozyme after reductive cleavage of disulfide bonds.

Frederick H. White
- 29 Jun 1976 - 
TL;DR: Stability of the observed beta structure indicates its existence prior to the oxidation of SH groups, which is concomitant with development of the native conformation, and could constitute at least part of a precursor conformation in the formation of native structure.

A Coiled-Coil Peptide Shaping Lipid Bilayers upon Fusion

TL;DR: The hypothesis for a twofold role of K in the mechanism of membrane fusion: 1) to bring opposing membranes into close proximity via coiled-coil formation and 2) to destabilize both membranes thereby promoting fusion.
