Dimerization of antimicrobial peptides: A promising strategy to enhance antimicrobial peptide activity
(2019-01-01)
Antimicrobial resistance is a global health problem with strong social and economic impacts. The development of new antimicrobial agents is considered an urgent challenge. In this regard, Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) ...
Monitoring the positioning of short polycationic peptides in model lipid bilayers by combining hydrogen/deuterium exchange and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-12-01)
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was used to analyze the hydrogen/deuterium exchange properties of the mastoparan peptide Apoica-MP during interactions with lipid vesicle membranes. Synthetic peptide was ...

The self-assembly of redox active peptides: Synthesis and electrochemical capacitive behavior
(2016-05-01)
The present work reports on the synthesis of a redox-tagged peptide with self-assembling capability aiming applications in electrochemically active capacitive surfaces (associated with the presence of the redox centers) ...
Solid-phase peptide synthesis in highly loaded conditions
(Academic Press Inc. Elsevier B.V., 2011-02-01)
The use of very highly substituted resins has been avoided for peptide synthesis due to the aggravation of chain-chain interactions within beads. To better evaluate this problem, a combined solvation-peptide synthesis ...
On the role of surrounding regions in the fusion peptide in dengue virus infection
(2021-05-01)
Dengue virus infection depends on its fusion with the host membrane, where the binding occurs through interaction between proteins on the virus cell surface and specific viral receptors on target membranes. This process ...

The effect of acidic residues and amphipathicity on the lytic activities of mastoparan peptides studied by fluorescence and CD spectroscopy
(Springer, 2011-01-01)
Some mastoparan peptides extracted from social wasps display antimicrobial activity and some are hemolytic and cytotoxic. Although the cell specificity of these peptides is complex and poorly understood, it is believed ...
Production of Cell-Penetrating Peptides in Escherichia coli Using an Intein-Mediated System
(Springer, 2015)
Cell-penetrating peptides are molecules with the ability to cross membranes and
enter cells. Attention has been put on these peptides as a tool for drug delivery research, as they
are able to serve as delivery vectors ...
