This chapter is concerned with the structure and function of insect peptides. The peptides that have been discovered in the blood, glands, or tissues of insects have widely diverse metabolic and physiological function. Cuticle sclerotization, amino acid transport, detoxification of insecticides, ...

Foldamers are oligomers or polymers with well-defined conformational propensities (1,2). This class of compounds has been a subject of increasing interest. At a fundamental level, foldamer research offers a new venue for exploring the relationship between the covalent structure of a molecule and ...
Membrane structure 1. Introduction The cell envelope provides protection from the environment and gives structural integrity to the cell in all organisms. Homeostasis of the plasma membrane is vital for functioning of the cell and the bacterial phage shock protein (Psp) response protects the bacterial...
This chapter discusses the insulin-like peptides: structure, signaling, and function. Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) are paragons for the conservation of hormone structure and function among invertebrates and higher animals. They are encoded by multiple, distinct genes within each species and, upon ...
Design, characterization and structure–function analysis of novel antimicrobial peptides based on the N-terminal CATH-2 fragment Article Introduction The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has created a need to develop novel classes of antibiotics to circumvent them1. As part of these efforts,...

Structure, Function and Engineering of the NonribosomalPeptide Synthetase Condensation Domain The nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) is a highly precise molecular assembly machinery for synthesizing structurally diverse peptides, which have broad medicinal applications. Withinthe NRPS, the condensation (C)...
The proteincollagenis one of the main building blocks of your skin, muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. Collagen provides all these parts structure, strength, and the ability to stretch. As you get older, your body makes less collagen and breaks down the collagen...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) constitute promising alternatives to classical antibiotics for the treatment of drug-resistant infections, which are a rapidly emerging global health challenge. However, our understanding of the structure-function relationsh
