Journal ArticleDOI

Conformational stability of helical peptides containing a thioamide linkage.

TL;DR: This work marks the first incorporation of a thioamide linkage into the backbone of an alpha-helix and demonstrates that a thIOamide linkage is compatible with positions within the helix as well as near the C-terminus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictions of the secondary structure of antithrombin III and the location of the heparin-binding site.

TL;DR: The secondary structure of antithrombin III was investigated using the predictive scheme based on the amino acid sequence and it was proposed that the unstable helical segment composed of residues 281-292 is the heparin-binding site in antithromabin III.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural studies on the freezing-point-depressing protein of the winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus

TL;DR: The secondary and tertiary structure of this freezing-point-depressing protein as well as its primary structure are found to be different from its counterpart glycoproteins isolated from the Antarctic fish.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of bZIP Interaction Partners of Viral Proteins HBZ, MEQ, BZLF1, and K-bZIP Using Coiled-Coil Arrays

TL;DR: This work investigated the interaction specificity of these four viral bZIPs by using coiled-coil arrays to assess self-associations as well as heterointeractions with 33 representative human b ZIPs, and generated a peptide, anti-MEQ, that bound MEQ both stably and specifically, as assayed using coil arrays and circular dichroism in solution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clavaspirin, an antibacterial and haemolytic peptide from Styela clava.

TL;DR: Peptides such as clavaspirin may equip tunicate haemocytes to mediate cytotoxicity and participate in antimicrobial defence.
