Opioid peptides in the female reproductive system: physiological implications [PDF]
, 1995 All endogenous opioid peptides derive from three precursor molecules i.e. proopiomelanocortin, proenkephalin and prodynorphin. The endogenous opioid peptides exert their biological effects through opioid receptors. Each endogenous opioid peptide exhibits

Numerical Comparisons of Three Recently Proposed Algorithms in the Protein Folding Problem [PDF]
J. Comput. Chem. 18 (1997) 920 -933, 1997 We compare numerically the effectiveness of three recently proposed algorithms, multicanonical simulations, simulations in a 1/k-ensemble, and simulated tempering for the protein folding problem. For this we perform simulations with high statistics for one of the simplest peptides, Met-enkephalin.

Effect of D-alanine methionine enkephalin amide on ion transport in rabbit ileum.
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1980 The presence of enkephalins in the intestine and the use of opiates to treat diarrheal diseases suggests that enkephalins may affect intestinal ion transport.

Resolution exchange simulation with incremental coarsening [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 We previously developed an algorithm, called resolution exchange, which improves canonical sampling of atomic resolution models by swapping conformations between high- and low-resolution simulations[1]. Here, we demonstrate a generally applicable incremental coarsening procedure and apply the algorithm to a larger peptide, met-enkephalin.

Monte Carlo Protein Folding: Simulations of Met-Enkephalin with Solvent-Accessible Area Parameterizations [PDF]
arXiv, 2004 Treating realistically the ambient water is one of the main difficulties in applying Monte Carlo methods to protein folding. The solvent-accessible area method, a popular method for treating water implicitly, is investigated by means of Metropolis simulations of the brain peptide Met-Enkephalin.

The Biosynthetic Order of Amino Acid Addition to the Genetic Code [PDF]
arXiv, 2002 The previously formulated model for the evolution of the genetic code was shown to clarify why base triplets of some precursor amino acids differ by a single base from product amino acid codons, while others show less homology. First, the model indicated that the direction of code evolution changed on expansion from the N-fixers code (stage 2).
