The mechanism of the interaction between the cell-penetrating peptide transportan 10 (tp10) and phospholipid membranes was investigated. Tp10 induces graded release of the contents of phospholipid vesicles. The kinetics of peptide association with vesicles and peptide-induced dye efflux from the
Stereospecific synthesis ofl-2-amino-3-(7-methoxy-4-coumaryl) propionic acid, an alternative to tryptophan in quenched fluorescent substrates for peptidases.

The preparation and characterization of two novel LysB29 selectively labelled fluorescent derivatives of human insulin are described. Two probes were chosen: 4-chloro-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD) and 7-methoxycoumarin-4-acetic acid (MCA), which have a relatively small, compact structure and are able to react with
Effective intervention strategies are urgently needed to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a membrane-bound carboxypeptidase that forms a dimer and serves as the cellular receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). ACE2 is
Proneurotrophins and mature neurotrophins elicit opposite effects via the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75(NTR)) and Trk tyrosine kinase receptors, respectively; however the molecular roles of proneurotrophins in the CNS are not fully understood. Based on two rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
