  • Structures of a significant number of SH2 domains both in isolation and bound to various target molecules have been determined by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. (lu.se)
  • Ideally, this number should be 1/3 of the full length of the peptide fragments, to ensure all regions of the protein segment are equally covered. (proteogenix.science)
  • Bioinformatic analysis was done to predict the secondary structure and three-dimensional structure of these seven gene fragments that may exist. (ukessays.com)
  • Fragment libraries play a key role in fragment-assembly based protein structure prediction, where protein fragments are assembled to form a complete three-dimensional structure. (biomedcentral.com)
  • For over two decades, Artur Schmidtchen and his research group have studied endogenous peptides, smaller protein fragments in the body with the ability to both kill bacteria and neutralize the bacterial toxins released during an infection. (lu.se)
  • The double-bridged peptides are hardly degraded by proteases in the blood, which is a great advantage because it keeps the peptides from being eliminated too quickly, thus extending their therapeutic effects. (epfl.ch)
  • Compstatin (SEQ ID NO:2), a 13-residue peptide, circularized by disulfide bond (Cys-2-Cys-12), displays an inhibitory activity of IC 50 =12 μM. (justia.com)
  • It was the overall aim of this research program to develop a new class of transient functional nanostructures based on self-assembling peptides. (dtic.mil)
  • Crystal structure and mutational analysis of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle regulatory protein Cks1: implications for domain swapping, anion binding and protein interactions. (expasy.org)
  • We expect to be able to tune the size of the replicating macrocycle by altering the strength of the interactions between the peptides. (europa.eu)
  • Data-independent acquisition approaches typically rely on experiment-specific spectrum libraries, requiring offline fractionation and tens to hundreds of injections. (nature.com)
  • Most importantly, these libraries are built at the expense of time, sample, and considerable effort with offline fractionation, especially considering that they are typically not reusable across laboratories or instrument platforms 9 . (nature.com)
  • Lasso peptides are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) natural products that display a unique lariat-like, threaded conformation. (illinois.edu)
  • however, the discovery, isolation, and characterization of lasso peptides are constrained by the lack of an efficient production system. (illinois.edu)
