Quantum chemical study of molecular properties of small branched-chain amino acids in water [PDF]
Four aliphatic amino acids—α-aminobutyric acid (AABA), β-aminobutyric acid (BABA), α-aminoisobutyric acid (AAIBA) and β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) were investigated in water as a solvent by two quantum chemical methods.

A Journey into the Blue: Current Knowledge and Emerging Insights into Marine-Derived Peptaibols [PDF]
Peptaibols represent a large family of membrane-active, linear fungal peptides, with variable lengths from 5 to 21 α–amino acid residues. As products of nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) biosynthetic machinery, they encompass several non ...

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of polypeptides containing the unnatural amino acid 2-aminoisobutyric acid
Polypeptides containing 2-aminoisobutiryc acid (Aib) as an unnatural amino acid were synthesized via chemoenzymatic polymerization of the tripeptide ethyl ester AlaAibAla-OEt.

Pertussis toxin nullifies the depolarisation of the membrane potential and the stimulation of the rapid phase of 45Ca2+ entry through L-type calcium channels that are produced by follicle stimulating hormone in 10- to 12-day-old-rat Sertoli cells. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pertussis toxin (PTX) on the depolarising component of the action of FSH on the membrane potential of Sertoli cells, which is linked to the rapid entry of Ca2+ into cells and to the Ca2+-dependent ...
