We introduce CycloPs, software for the generation of virtual libraries of
constrained peptides including natural and nonnatural commercially available amino acids.
The software is written in the cross-platform Python ...
The conventional wisdom is that certain classes of bioactive peptides have specific structural features that endow their particular functions. Accordingly, predictions of bioactivity have focused on particular subgroups, ...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are naturally occurring entities with potential as pharmaceutical candidates
and/or food additives. They are present in many organisms including bacteria, insects, fish and
mammals. While ...
Background: Short linear protein motifs are attracting increasing attention as functionally independent sites, typically 3-10 amino acids in length that are enriched in disordered regions of proteins. Multiple methods have ...
Salmon calcitonin (sCT) was conjugated via cysteine-1 to novel comb-shaped end-functionalised (poly(PEG) methyl ether methacrylate) (sCT-P) polymers, to yield conjugates of total molecular weights (MW) inclusive of sCT: ...
Short linear motifs in proteins (typically 3–12 residues in length) play key roles in protein–protein interactions by frequently binding specifically to peptide binding domains within interacting proteins. Their tendency ...
This paper characterizes the optimal and efficient mechanisms to allocate simultaneously two substitute tasks to two suppliers. Two main results emerge from this analysis. First, even under some regularity conditions ...
Conformationally restricted amino acids are important components in peptidomimetics and drug design. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a novel, non-proteinogenic constrained delta amino acid containing a cyclobutane ...
A significant step towards establishing the structure and function of a protein is the prediction of the local conformation of the polypeptide chain. In this article, we present systems for the prediction of three new ...
