Probing the Influence of Sulfur-Aromatic Interactions on the Electronic Structure of Gas-Phase Peptides. [PDF]
ChemistryJust as fingerprints reveal identity, spectroscopic fingerprints reveal molecular secrets. In this article, we show parts of the unique fingerprint of the sulfur–aromatic interaction. By measuring how this force alters the electronic structure of gas‐phase peptides, we provide a fundamental understanding of interactions that give insights into the ...

Computational Approach for Protein Structure Prediction [PDF]
Healthcare Informatics Research, 2013 ObjectivesTo predict the structure of protein, which dictates the function it performs, a newly designed algorithm is developed which blends the concept of self-organization and the genetic algorithm.MethodsAmong many other approaches, genetic algorithm ...

Methionine-Enkephalin in Bone and Joint Tissues [PDF]
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 1998 Abstract Methionine-enkephalin (met-enk), an endogenous opiate, mimics many of the effects of morphine by binding to opiate receptors, thereby eliciting similar cellular and behavioral effects. Using biochemical and immunohistochemical techniques, several peptides have been identified in bone and joint tissues.
