Extensive studies on the structure of collagen have revealed that the hydroxylation of Pro residues in a variety of model peptides with the typical (X-Y-Gly)(n) repeats (X and Y: Pro and its analogues) represents one of the major factors influencing

The metabolism of a new piracetam analogue, the dipeptide cognitive enhancer N-phenylacetyl-L-prolylglycine ethyl ester (GVS-111) was studied in vivo. GVS-111 itself was not found in rat brain 1 h after 5 mg/kg i.p. administration up to limit of detection (LOD)

We report a combined experimental and computational study of the proline effect in model dipeptides Pro-Gly and Gly-Pro. Gas-phase protonated peptide ions were discharged by glancing collisions with potassium or cesium atoms at 3 keV collision energies, and the peptide

Tetrapeptides, containing a terminated primary amine and conformationally restricted D-Pro-Gly or D-Pro-Aib (2-aminoisobutanoic acid) segment as a strongly beta-turn-nucleating element, were designed and synthesized with condensation of N-module dipeptides with C-module dipeptides in solution. They were first applied to catalyze
