Precise Molecular Structures of Cysteine, Cystine, Hydrogen-Bonded Dicysteine, Cysteine Dipeptide, Glutathione and Acetyl Cysteine Based on Additivity of Atomic Radii [PDF]
Structures of molecules are usually represented by arbitrary line drawings, ball and stick or space filling models. In recent years, the author found that using the appropriate radii of atoms and ions, bond lengths in inorganic, organic and biomolecules ...

Ab initio study of alanine polypeptide chains twisting
We have investigated the potential energy surfaces for alanine chains consisting of three and six amino acids. For these molecules we have calculated potential energy surfaces as a function of the Ramachandran angles Phi and Psi, which are widely used ...

It's a Gas: Bioconjugation With Vapor‐Phase Reagents
Gaseous reagents are an emerging class of bioconjugation reagents that can offer alternative selectivity paradigms for the construction of precise bioconjugates. A variety of both inert and highly reactive gases have recently been developed for bioconjugation use.

Quantum Diffusive Dynamics of Macromolecular Transitions
We study the role of quantum fluctuations of atomic nuclei in the real-time dynamics of non-equilibrium macro-molecular transitions. To this goal we introduce an extension of the Dominant Reaction Pathways (DRP) formalism, in which the quantum ...

Ion–Molecule Reaction Products as Probes and Precursors for Preparative Mass Spectrometry
Ion–molecule reactions in the gas phase of mass spectrometers are important for preparative mass spectrometry because they (1) provide knowledge about the intrinsic reactivity of ions, helping to predict and control their reactivity at interfaces, and (2) generate new complex ions that can be mass selected and deposited on surfaces.

Conformational changes in glycine tri- and hexapeptide
We have investigated the potential energy surfaces for glycine chains consisting of three and six amino acids. For these molecules we have calculated potential energy surfaces as a function of the Ramachandran angles phi and psi, which are widely used ...

Synthetic Strategies for Activity‐Based Probes to Decode Ubiquitin‐Like Modifiers
ABSTRACT Ubiquitin‐like proteins (Ubls) such as SUMO, NEDD8, ISG15, URM1, UFM1, FAT10, ATG8/ATG12, and FUBI are essential regulators of cellular homeostasis, controlling processes from protein stability and trafficking to immune signaling and autophagy.

FREQUENCY OF DIPEPTIDES AND ANTIDIPEPTIDES
Although it is reasonable to expect that the frequency of a generic dipeptide XY in proteins is the same of its counterpart YX, on the basis of an accurate statistical analysis of a large number of protein sequences, it appears that some dipeptides XY are considerably more frequent than their mirror images YX, referred to as antidipeptides.

First-principles molecular structure search with a genetic algorithm
The identification of low-energy conformers for a given molecule is a fundamental problem in computational chemistry and cheminformatics. We assess here a conformer search that employs a genetic algorithm for sampling the low-energy segment of the ...
