Many publications suggest that aromatic compounds, including aromatic peptides, can bind to lectins, and to or near the carbohydrate binding sites. We used a library of peptides of D-configuration aromatic amino acids, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan, and with D-alanine and glycine, to ...

Additional file: Figures S7and S8. The N-terminal domain (D46-G285) and the catalytic domain (G681-T992) are linked via the N-terminal “self-assembly α-helix” of the former domain in the crystal structure of DP2 [17]. This α-helix and the short β-sheet (P4-A44, indicated as...
At high temperatures, these species further assemble into larger irreversible aggregates and eventually in amyloid fibrils. The α to β- transition seems to occur only upon fibril assembly, while the initial aggregates retain their predominantly helical structure [14], [15]. Insulin is associated ...
The incubator contains both the control culture dishes (k) and the dishes receiving electrical stimulation, which are placed above each stimulator (l). These thin 35 mm electrodes are planned for assembly into bioelectronic active implants (m) to improve osseointegration around the bone–implant ...
has the identical amino acid sequence but with all amino acid residues inl-configuration, also with its C-terminus being amidated. RD2 andl-RD2 have a molecular mass of 1.599 kDa. The peptide KLVFFRRRRRR (peptides & elephants, Potsdam, Germany) consists of 11l-enantiomeric amino acid res...

Higher-order assembly of collagen peptides into nano- and micro-scale materials have been reported by Przybyla and Chmielewski [56]. The role of collagen in the aging process of fossil materials has been evaluated by a simple and accurate method by determining the extent of deamidation at the...
