Solid phase peptide synthesis utilizing 9‐fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl amino acids Tập 35 Số 3 - Trang 161-214 - 1990
Gregg Fields, Richard L. Noble
9‐Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) amino acids were first used for solid phase peptide synthesis a little more than a decade ago. Since that time, Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis methodology has been greatly enhanced by the introduction of a variety of solid supports, linkages, and side chain protecting groups, as well as by increased understanding of solvation conditions. These advances...... hiện toàn bộ
The toxic peptides from Amanita mushrooms Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 257-276 - 1983
Theodor Wieland
The results of 50 years of effort in the chemistry of Amanita toxins are reviewed. The phallotoxins, fast acting components, but not responsible for fatal intoxications after ingestion, are bicyclic heptapeptides. They combine with F‐actin, stabilizing this protein against several destabilizing influences. The virotoxins likewise fast acting are monocyclic heptapeptides. The amatoxins whic...... hiện toàn bộ
A common cytolytic region in myotoxins, hemolysins, cardiotoxins and antibacterial peptides* Tập 34 Số 4 - Trang 277-286 - 1989
R. Manjunatha Kini, Herbert J. Evans
Several proteins and polypeptides of reptilian, amphibian, insect, and microbial origin share a common cytolytic property. However, these cytolysins fulfill different objectives. They provide offensive armament in the case of toxins, but defensive systems in the case of antibacterial peptides. The sequences of several nonenzymatic cytolysins and their analogues were compared to identify th...... hiện toàn bộ
Amino acid structure and “difficult sequences” in solid phase peptide synthesis Tập 40 Số 3-4 - Trang 300-307 - 1992
J Bedford, Carolyn B. Hyde, Tony Johnson, Jun Wang, David Owen, Martin Quibell, R. C. Sheppard
Deprotection peak profiles have been determined as a measure of internal aggregation during Fmoc‐polyamide continuous flow solid phase synthesis. The results have been correlated with amino‐acid structure and discussed in terms of minimising aggregation during synthesis.
Stereochemistry of collagen* Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 1-16 - 1988
G. N. Ramachandran
This review article, based on a lecture delivered in Madras in 1985, is an account of the author's experience in the working out of the molecular structure and conformation of the collagen triple‐helix over the years 1952–78. It starts with the first proposal of the correct triple‐helix in 1954, but with three residues per turn, which was later refined in 1955 into a coiled‐coil structure ...... hiện toàn bộ
Conformational modifications of cyclic hexapeptide somatostatin analogs Tập 23 Số 2 - Trang 142-150 - 1984
Roger Freidinger, Debra S. Perlow, William C. Randall, Richard Saperstein, Byron H. Arison, Daniel F. Veber
A model for the bioactive conformation of the highly active cyclic hexapeptide somatostatin analog cyclo‐(Pro‐Phe‐d‐Trp‐Lys‐Thr‐Phe) has been proposed. As a test of this model, several compounds containing lactam and N‐Me amino acid conformational modifications in the Thr‐Phe‐Pro‐Phe beta turn were synthesized. The N‐...... hiện toàn bộ
Isolation of a heptapeptide Val‐Val‐Tyr‐Pro‐Trp‐Thr‐Gln (valorphin) with some opiate activity Tập 39 Số 6 - Trang 477-484 - 1992
Judit Érchegyi, Abba J. Kastin, James E. Zadina, X. Qiu
Bovine hypothalamic tissue was extracted and purified by solid phase extraction and several reversed‐phase HPLC steps. The amino acid sequence of the purified peptide was determined by Edman degradation to be Val‐Val‐Tyr‐Pro‐Trp‐Thr‐Gln. This was confirmed by comparison of its chromatographic behavior with that of the synthetic peptide, and mass spectrometric analysis resulted in a mass id...... hiện toàn bộ
