Biophysical Studies of TOAC Analogs of the Ctx(Ile21)-Ha Antimicrobial Peptide Using Liposomes
(2022-06-01)
Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are innate components of the defense system of many forms of life, composing the first line of defense from invading pathogens. Among many AMPs described in several databases, the Ctx(Ile21)-Ha ...
Interaction between the antimicrobial peptide aurein 1.2 dimer with mannans
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-09-01)
The effects of the C-terminal amidation of mastoparans on their biological actions and interactions with membrane-mimetic systems
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-10-01)
Polycationic peptides may present their C-termini in either amidated or acidic form; however, the effects of these conformations on the mechanisms of interaction with the membranes in general were not properly investigated ...
New aspects of the interactions between the cardiovascular nitric oxide system and natriuretic peptides
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2011-03)
Arterial blood pressure is regulated by a variety of endocrine, autocrine and neuronal systems. Natriuretic peptides and nitric oxide are important factors that exert synergistic vascular and cardiac actions and their ...
Interaction of a synthetic antimicrobial peptide with model membrane by fluorescence spectroscopy
(Springer, 2013-12-01)
Static and time-resolved fluorescence of tryptophan and ortho-aminobenzoic acid was used to investigate the interaction of the synthetic antimicrobial peptide L1A (IDGLKAIWKKVADLLKNT-NH2) with POPC and POPC:POPG. N-acetylated ...
Dengue fusion peptides in interaction with model membranes-A fluorescence study
(2021-04-01)
Dengue fever is a widespread infectious disease caused by Dengue viruses and responsible for millions of cases per year. One of the key steps during the infection is the fusion between the cell membrane and the lipidic ...
Molecular interactions of an ornithine-rich pH-responsive self-Assembling peptide with a model lipid membrane: Conformational aspects
(2016-09-01)
Investigating interactions of designed peptide-based biomaterials with lipid membranes is important for applications in nanobiotechnology. Here the interaction of an ornithine-rich pH-responsive peptide called P11-5 with ...
Targeting Plasmodium ligands on mosquito salivary glands and midgut with a phage display peptide library
(2001-11-06)
Despite vast efforts and expenditures in the past few decades, malaria continues to kill millions of persons every year, and new approaches for disease control are urgently needed. To complete its life cycle in the mosquito, ...

The lipid composition of a cell membrane modulates the interaction of an antiparasitic peptide at the air-water interface
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-07-01)
The antiparasitic property of peptides is believed to be associated with their interactions with the protozoan membrane, which calls for research on the identification of membrane sites capable of peptide binding. In this ...
