Journal ArticleDOI

Noncovalent triblock copolymers based on a coiled-coil peptide motif.

TL;DR: The self-assembly of the polymer-peptide conjugates is compared to that of polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene glycol), emphasizing the importance of the coiled-coil peptide block in determining micellar structure and dynamic behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stabilization of proteins by rational design of α-helix stability using helix/coil transition theory

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that by using a helix/coil algorithm to design helix-stabilizing mutations on the solvent-exposed face of helices, it is possible to rationally increase the stability of proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computational design of highly selective antimicrobial peptides.

TL;DR: It is found that the cosine of the angle between two sequence moments obtained with different hydrophobicity scales, defined as the D-descriptor, identifies highly selective peptide antibiotics.

Inhibition of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infectivity by the gp41 Core: Role of a Conserved Hydrophobic Cavity in Membrane Fusion

TL;DR: Results indicate that the conserved hydrophobic coiled-coil cavity in the gp41 core is critical for HIV-1 entry and its inhibition and provides a potential antiviral drug target.
Journal ArticleDOI

The amphiphilic alpha-helix concept. Consequences on the structure of staphylococcal delta-toxin in solution and bound to lipids.

TL;DR: It is proposed that delta-toxin probably lies parallel to the surface, only penetrating weakly in lipids, depending on their packing, and a structural model of aggregated species is proposed with stacked antiparallel amphipathic rods.
