Arginine side chain interactions and the role of arginine as a gating charge carrier in voltage sensitive ion channels

Scientific Reports, 2016
Gating charges in voltage-sensing domains (VSD) of voltage-sensitive ion channels and enzymes are carried on arginine side chains rather than lysine. This arginine preference may result from the unique hydration properties of the side chain guanidinium ...

Chemical Biology of Protein Arginine Modifications in Epigenetic Regulation

Chemical Reviews, 2015
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histone proteins are a hallmark of epigenetic regulation. They provide a mechanism to modulate chromatin structure and constitute the main features of the so-called “histone code”.1 The proposed function of this

Arginine Kinase Activates Arginine for Phosphorylation by Pyramidalization and Polarization

ACS Catalysis
Arginine phosphorylation plays numerous roles throughout biology. Arginine kinase (AK) catalyzes the delivery of an anionic phosphoryl group (PO3-) from ATP to a planar, trigonal nitrogen in a guanidinium cation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have yielded a model of the transition state (TS) for the AK-catalyzed reaction.

Synthesis of an arginine mimic for an antifungal octapeptide library : this thesis is presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2008
A family of bioactive antifungal octapeptides has been established¹⁻³. The template for this library is based on peptides composed of two predefined amino acids, three arginines, and three unknown components. The arginine contains a guanidino group (pKa =

Amino Acid Changes at Arginine 204 of Troponin I Result in Increased Calcium Sensitivity of Force Development. [PDF]

, 2016
Mutations in human cardiac troponin I (cTnI) have been associated with restrictive, dilated, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies. The most commonly occurring residue on cTnI associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is arginine (R), which ...
