Poly-proline chains and derivatives have been recently examined as the basis for new chiral stationary phases in high performance liquid chromatography. The selectivity of poly-proline has been measured for peptides with up to ten proline units. In this article, we

Although the ribosome is a very general catalyst, it cannot synthesize all protein sequences equally well. For example, ribosomes stall on the secretion monitor (SecM) leader peptide to regulate expression of a downstream gene. Using a genetic selection in Escherichia

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
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
Humankind has utilized protein materials throughout its existence, starting with the use of materials such as wool and silk for warmth and protection from the elements and continuing with the use of recombinant DNA techniques to synthesize proteins with unique and useful properties.
