Tissue transglutaminase (TGase) is a Ca(2+)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes cross-linking of intracellular proteins through a mechanism that involves isopeptide bond formation between Gln and Lys residues. In addition to its transamidation activity, TGase can bind guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) and does

A novel nucleic acid compaction device based on a positively-charged alpha,epsilon-poly-l-lysine was realized for the first time. The polycationic peptide was obtained by assembling Fmoc and Boc orthogonally protected l-lysine monomers by solid phase synthesis. The route to the novel
PEGylated lipopeptide surfactants carrying drug-interactive motifs specific for a peptide-nitroxide antioxidant, JP4-039, were designed and constructed to facilitate the solubilization of this drug candidate as micelles and emulsion nanoparticles. A simple screening process based on the ability that prevents the

A solid-state and solution analysis of the homo-oligopeptides from epsilon-tert.-butyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine with p-oxymethylbenzylcholestan-3 beta-yl succinate as C-terminal group, using infrared absorption and circular dichroism, is described. The occurrence of intermolecular beta-structure is seen in the solid state and in solvents of
