One of the ubiquitous features membrane proteins is preference tryptophan and tyrosine residues for surfaces that presumably arises from enhanced stability due to distinct interfacial interactions. The physical basis this widely believed arise amphipathic interactions related imino group hydrogen bonding and/or dipole We have examined these other possibilities tryptophan's by using 1H magic angle spinning (MAS) chemical shift measurements, two-dimensional (2D) nuclear Overhauser effect...
Octanol-to-water solvation free energies of acetyl amino acid amides (Ac-X-amides) [Fauchère, J. L., & Pliška, V. (1983) Eur. Med. Chem.Chim. Ther. 18, 369] form the basis for computational comparisons protein stabilities by means atomic parameter formalism Eisenberg and McLachlan [(1986) Nature 319, 199]. In order to explore this approach more complex systems, we have determined octanol-to-water partitioning (1) guest (X) side chains in host−guest pentapeptides AcWL-X-LL, (2) carboxy...

Abstract Lipids are produced, transported, and recognized by the concerted actions of numerous enzymes, binding proteins, receptors. A comprehensive analysis lipid molecules, “lipidomics,” in context genomics proteomics is crucial to understanding cellular physiology pathology; consequently, biology has become a major research target postgenomic revolution systems biology. To facilitate international communication about lipids, classification lipids with common platform that compatible...

Defensins comprise a family of broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides that are stored in the cytoplasmic granules mammalian neutrophils and Paneth cells small intestine. Neutrophil defensins known to permeabilize cell membranes susceptible microorganisms, but mechanism permeabilization is uncertain. We report here results an investigation by which HNP-2, one 4 human neutrophil defensins, permeabilizes large unilamellar vesicles formed from anionic lipid palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylglycerol...
The rate of membrane protein (MP) structure determination has been examined for the 18-year period following publication first high-resolution crystal structure. growth is solidly exponential, but lags behind soluble proteins during equivalent time period.
Hydropathy plot methods form a cornerstone of membrane protein research, especially in the early stages biochemical and structural characterization. Membrane Protein Explorer (MPEx), described this article, is refined versatile hydropathy-plot software tool for analyzing sequences. MPEx highly interactive facilitates characterization identification favorable transmembrane regions using experiment-based physical biological hydrophobicity scales. Besides allowing consequences sequence...
