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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The existence of opioid receptors in mammalian myometrial tissue is now widely accepted. Previously enkephalin degrading enzymes have been shown to be elevated in pregnant rat uterus and a met-enkephalin analogue has been ...
Purpose
CriticalSorb™ is a novel absorption enhancer based on Solutol® HS15, one that has been found to enhance the nasal transport. It is in clinical trials for nasal delivery of human growth hormone. The hypothesis was ...
Calcitonin is used as a second line treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, but widespread acceptance is somewhat limited by subcutaneous and intranasal routes of delivery. This study attempted to enable intestinal sCT ...
