Antimicrobial and other oligopeptides of grapes
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2010 Structures and functions of about 700 oligopeptides of various plants are presently known. However, only one polypeptide has been isolated from grapes and characterized. At the same time, tens of thousands of uncharacterized amino acid sequences have been revealed in this plant, among which there can also be precursors of oligopeptide regulators.

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 1, May 2026.In this study, a rational in silico strategy was employed to design a bioinsecticidal peptide targeting the digestive trypsins of Spodoptera frugiperda, utilizing the Dioscorin–trypsin interface as a structural template. By identifying critical interface hot‐spot residues, an 11‐residue oligopeptide designated as PEP‐11 was engineered, demonstrating ...

Evaluation of Structural Vulnerabilities in DNA Origami Nanoplatforms Using Ionizing Radiation
ChemNanoMat, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2026.This study utilizes ionizing radiation to simulate long‐term degradation across three distinct DNA origami shapes, identifying structural weak points via AFM, AGE, and melting point analyses. Despite high radiation tolerance, exposed edges and single‐stranded domains show increased vulnerability, providing essential design benchmarks for engineering ...

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2018 Cyanobacterial toxins are a global threat to aquatic organisms; however, they represent only one group of bioactive cyanobacterial metabolites. Very little is known about the effects of other cyanobacterial products (e.g., non-ribosomal oligopeptides) on

Ab initio simulations of Cu binding sites in the N-terminal region of PrP [PDF]
, 2006 The prion protein (PrP) binds Cu2+ ions in the octarepeat domain of the N-terminal tail up to full occupancy at pH=7.4. Recent experiments show that the HGGG octarepeat subdomain is responsible for holding the metal bound in a square planar coordination.

Curcumin Nanoformulations for Dermatological Applications: From Nutraceuticals to Nanocarriers
Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.Nanotechnology‐based delivery platforms enhance the cutaneous administration of curcumin. Loading free curcumin into polymeric micelles, metal‐based nanoparticles, nanogels/hydrogels, liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, or nanoemulsions/nanocrystals helps address its low solubility, poor stability and limited skin permeation. As a result, these systems

Oligopeptide sequences of the metal binding domain of CueR metalloregulatory proteins as candidates for toxic metal ion capture [PDF]
, 2012 Various toxic metal ion resistance systems operate from bacterial level up to higher plants and animals. In bacteria, metalloregulatory proteins are key factors in the control of metal ion level.

Conjugated 2′‐Fucosyllactose–Potato Protein Hydrolysate as Novel Prebiotics
Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.This study introduces a novel protein‐containing prebiotic based on 2′‐FL‐PPH Maillard conjugates micelles that co‐deliver proteins and carbohydrates to the colon to selectively nourish colonic probiotics. These digestion‐resistant micelles enhanced Bifidobacteria, SCFAs, gut barrier integrity, and metabolic health more effectively than conventional ...
