Fibrillisation of hydrophobically modified amyloid peptide fragments in an organic solvent [PDF]
The self-assembly of a hydrophobically modified fragment of the amyloid beta(A beta) peptide has been studied in methanol. The peptide FFKLVFF is based on A beta(16-20) extended at the N terminus by two phenylalanine residues.

Water immersion increases the concentration of the immunoreactive N-terminal fragment of pro-atrial natriuretic factor in human plasma [PDF]
Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) N-terminal (ANF 1–98) and C-terminal (ANF 99–126) fragments were determined by radioimmunoassay in human plasma. Mean basal plasma ANF N-terminal concentrations in 9 healthy subjects were 461 ± 58 fmol/ml,significantly ...

Peptide‐Guided Assembly of Repeat Protein Fragments [PDF]
AbstractHerein, we present the peptide‐guided assembly of complementary fragments of designed armadillo repeat proteins (dArmRPs) to create proteins that bind peptides not only with high affinity but also with good selectivity. We recently demonstrated that complementary N‐ and C‐terminal fragments of dArmRPs form high‐affinity complexes that resemble ...

Amyloid beta (Aβ) proteins are produced from amyloid precursor protein cleaved by β- and γ-secretases, and are the main components of senile plaques pathologically found in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patient brains.

Targeted online liquid chromatography electron capture dissociation mass spectrometry for the localization of sites of in vivo phosphorylation in human Sprouty2 [PDF]
We demonstrate a strategy employing collision-induced dissociation for phosphopeptide discovery, followed by targeted electron capture dissociation (ECD) for site localization. The high mass accuracy and low background noise of the ECD mass spectra allow

UV-induced ligand exchange in MHC class I protein crystals [PDF]
High-throughput structure determination of protein−ligand complexes is central in drug development and structural proteomics. To facilitate such high-throughput structure determination we designed an induced replacement strategy.

Modeling peptide fragmentation with dynamic Bayesian networks for peptide identification [PDF]
AbstractMotivation: Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is an indispensable technology for identification of proteins from complex mixtures. Proteins are digested to peptides that are then identified by their fragmentation patterns in the mass spectrometer.

Method of treating endothelial dysfunction comprising administration of a thrombin peptide derivative [PDF]
Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is associated with a number of diseases and disorders. Agonists of the non-proteolytically activated thrombin receptor can be used in methods to treat ED or ED-related diseases and disorders.Board of Regents, University of ...

Modulation of the FGF14:FGF14 homodimer interaction through short peptide fragments.
Fibroblast growth factor 14 (FGF14) is a member of the intracellular FGF (iFGFs) family and a functionally relevant component of the neuronal voltage-gated Na(+) (Nav) channel complex.
