Influence of Mutations of Conserved Arginines on Neuropeptide Binding in the DPP III Active Site
Molecules, 2023 Dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III), a zinc exopeptidase, is involved in the final steps of intercellular protein degradation and has a marked affinity for opioid peptides such as enkephalins and endomorphins.

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT One of the great triumphs of mass spectrometry‐based peptide and protein characterization is the characterization of their modifications as most modifications have a characteristic mass shift. What happens when the modification does not change the mass of the peptide?

A drug delivery strategy: binding enkephalin to asialoglycoprotein receptor by enzymatic galactosylation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Glycosylation of biopharmaceuticals can mediate cell specific delivery by targeting carbohydrate receptors. Additionally, glycosylation can improve the physico-chemical (drug-like) properties of peptide based drug candidates.

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by early, selective, progressive vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Proenkephalin (PENK), a precursor of opioid peptides abundantly expressed in MSNs, is a promising biomarker of striatal integrity, but region‐specific associations and its potential for early‐stage ...

Quality Control Strategies for Differentiation of Kalanchoe Species
Phytochemical Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Kalanchoe species products are commercially available in local markets and by internationally accessible online retailers and may exhibit quality issues because of misidentification from similar common names and anatomical similarities among related species used as feedstock. This study proposes an approach using UPLC‐MS/MSE and HPTLC, coupled
