The relative importance of electrostatic and nonelectrostatic interactions in peptide-microgel systems was evaluated by micromanipulator-assisted light microscopy, confocal microscopy, and circular dichroism. For this purpose, the interaction of various homopolypeptides with lightly cross-linked polyelectrolyte gel particles ( approximately 70 microm

Bent but not broken: cyclic oligoprolines are accessed in a reaction that effectively bends rigid oligoproline peptides (see scheme; TBDMS=tert-butyldimethylsilyl). The stitching is accomplished during macrocyclization enabled by aziridine aldehydes and isocyanides. Molecular modeling studies suggest that electrostatic attraction between

Although subsequent studies have provided extensive support for the 1968 Tiffany and Krimm proposal (Biopolymers 6, 1379) that the polyproline II (PPII) conformation is a significant component of the structure of unordered polypeptide chains, two issues are still not fully

Intrinsically disordered (ID) proteins function in the absence of a unique stable structure and appear to challenge the classic structure-function paradigm. The extent to which ID proteins take advantage of subtle conformational biases to perform functions, and whether signals for

In nature, proline residues carry several post-translational modifications (PTMs), including 4R hydroxylation and glycosylation. A recent study synthesized contiguously hydroxylated and glycosylated nonaproline peptides and revealed that both PTMs lead to a significant increase in the thermal stability of PPII
