Using Rheo-Small-Angle Neutron Scattering to Understand How Functionalised Dipeptides Form Gels [PDF]
We explore the use of rheo-small-angle neutron scattering as a method to collect structural information from neutron scattering simultaneously with rheology to understand how low-molecular-weight hydrogels form and behave under shear.

Fine‐Tuning Supramolecular Assemblies by Controlling Micellar Aggregates
Supramolecular assembly can be used to fabricate complex functional materials by organizing simple building blocks. However, it is difficult to control the hierarchical assembly across multiple length scales.

The Synthesis of (2R)-Aziridine-2-carboxylic Acid Containing Dipeptides
Optimized conditions for the synthesis of fully deprotected (2R)-aziridine containing dipeptides are described. Preparation of fully protected N- and C- terminal aziridine containing dipeptides was found to be straightforward and high yielding for the ...

Feedback Regulation of Cathepsin C by the Propeptide Dipeptides of Granzymes A and B
Granzymes A and B are activated by proteolytic removal of their N-terminal dipeptides by cathepsin C (dipeptidyl-peptidase I). However, the possible physiological role of the cleaved dipeptides Glu-Lys and Gly-Glu is not yet understood.

Neighbouring residue effects on the ^(15)N chemical shifts of some aliphatic dipeptides [PDF]
The ^(15)N chemical shifts of a number of simple aliphatic dipeptides have been determined in a aqueous solution and while the amine nitrogen shift is independent of the nature of the neighbouring residue, the peptide nitrogen shift shows a marked ...

Density Functional Studies on Secondary Amides: Role of Steric Factors in Cis/Trans Isomerization
Cis/trans isomerization of amide bonds is a key step in a wide range of biological and synthetic processes. Occurring through C-N amide bond rotation, it also coincides with the activation of amides in enzymatic hydrolysis.

As autotrophic organisms, plants capture light energy to convert carbon dioxide into ATP, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and sugars, which are essential for the biosynthesis of building blocks, storage, and growth.

Aqueous Amino Acids and Proteins Near the Surface of Gold in Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Force Fields [PDF]
We calculate potentials of the mean force for twenty amino acids in the vicinity of the (111) surface of gold, for several dipeptides, and for some analogs of the side chains, using molecular dynamics simulations and the umbrella sampling method.

The female schistosome's dependence on the male to reach sexual maturity has puzzled scientists for decades. Using various molecular techniques, Chen et al. dissect the synthesis pathway of the β-alanyl-tryptamine dipeptide (BATT), emitted by the male into its environment, which induces sexual maturation and egg-laying in the female.
