Bifunctional quorum-quenching and antibiotic-acylase MacQ forms a 170-kDa capsule-shaped molecule containing spacer polypeptides

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of bacterial antibiotic resistance will help prepare against further emergence of multi-drug resistant strains. MacQ is an enzyme responsible for the multi-drug resistance of Acidovorax sp. strain MR-S7.

Transmembrane and Antimicrobial Peptides. Hydrophobicity, Amphiphilicity and Propensity to Aggregation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
Development of the new antimicrobial agents against antibiotic resistance pathogens is the nowadays challenge. Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) occur as important defence agents in many organisms and offer a viable alternative to conventional antibiotics.

The role of the peptides in enzymes at the origin of live [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
The peptides in biosystems are homochiral polymers of L-amino acids, but razemisate slowly by an active isomerization kinetics. The chemical reactions in biosystems are, however, reversible and what racemisates the peptides at the water activity in the biosystems can ensure homochirality at a smaller activity.

PepDoRA: A Unified Peptide Language Model via Weight-Decomposed Low-Rank Adaptation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Peptide therapeutics, including macrocycles, peptide inhibitors, and bioactive linear peptides, play a crucial role in therapeutic development due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, predicting these properties remains challenging.

Proteolysis sensitizes LDL particles to phospholipolysis by secretory phospholipase A2 group V and secretory sphingomyelinase

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
LDL particles that enter the arterial intima become exposed to proteolytic and lipolytic modifications. The extracellular hydrolases potentially involved in LDL modification include proteolytic enzymes, such as chymase, cathepsin S, and plasmin, and ...
