E Altmann et al.
International journal of peptide and protein research, 32(5), 344-351 (1988-11-01)
The conformational behaviour of host-guest peptides of the type Ac-Ala-Xxx-Ala-Ala-Xxx-Ala-Ala-Xxx-Ala-Ala-NH-PEGM (Xxx = alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), (S)-2-ethylalanine ((S)-Iva), (S)-2-methylserine ((S)-alpha-MeSer)) has been studied by CD spectroscopy in CF3CH2OH, CH3OH, and water and by i.r. spectroscopy in CHCl3 and in the solid

Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 72(10), 2580-2588 (2008-10-08)
The alpha-methylserine aldolase gene from Variovorax paradoxus strains AJ110406, NBRC15149, and NBRC15150 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Formaldehyde release activity from alpha-methyl-L-serine was detected in the cell-free extract of E.coli expressing the gene from three strains. The recombinant

The synthesis and the conformational analysis in aqueous solution of a peptide and a glycopeptide containing the sequence threonine-alanine-alanine (Thr-Ala-Ala) are reported. Furthermore, the threonine residue has been replaced by the quaternary amino acid alpha-methylserine (MeSer) and their corresponding non-natural

Acta chemica Scandinavica (Copenhagen, Denmark : 1989), 46(10), 989-993 (1992-10-01)
The three-dimensional structure of the RGD-adhesion sequence has been studied previously by means of linear and cyclic peptides. These peptides show widely differing affinities to integrins, ascribed to a strong dependence on steric factors in the receptor recognition. Insertion of

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 47(18), 5319-5321 (2011-04-01)
A novel Tn antigen mimic, in which the natural underlying amino acid has been replaced by the non-natural α-methylserine analogue, is reported. This derivative exhibits a similar affinity for a natural lectin as for the natural Tn and retains the
