Influence of pH and sequence in peptide aggregation via molecular simulation [PDF]
, 2015We employ a recently developed coarse-grained model for peptides and proteins where the effect of pH is automatically included. We explore the effect of pH in the aggregation process of the amyloidogenic peptide KTVIIE and two related sequences, using three different pH environments. Simulations using large systems (24 peptides chains per box) allow us

Multi-Peptide: Multimodality Leveraged Language-Graph Learning of Peptide Properties. [PDF]
J Chem Inf ModelPeptides are essential in biological processes and therapeutics. In this study, we introduce Multi-Peptide, an innovative approach that combines transformer-based language models with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to predict peptide properties. We combine PeptideBERT, a transformer model tailored for peptide property prediction, with a GNN encoder to ...

Data storage using peptide sequences [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021Abstract From the beginning of civilization, the media for storing data have been continuously evolving from such as stone tablets, animal bones and bamboo tablets to paper, with improvements on data density over time. Since the invention of electronics in the last century, the percentage of data stored in digital form has been increasing ...

Characteristics of the enzyme-induced release of bitter peptides from wheat gluten hydrolysates
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022Bitter peptides in the enzymatic hydrolysates were prepared and purified from wheat gluten using aqueous ethanol solutions and macroporous resin, which has opened a new road for the extraction and separation of bitter peptides.

Identifying sequential residue patterns in bitter and umami peptides [PDF]
ACS Food Sci. Technol. 2022, 2, 11, 1773--1780, 2022The primary structures of peptides, originating from food proteins, affect their taste. Connecting primary structure to taste, however, is difficult because the size of the peptide sequence space increases exponentially with increasing peptide length, while experimentally-labeled data on peptides' tastes remain scarce.

Molecular characterization of sequence-driven peptide glycation
Scientific Reports, 2021Peptide glycation is an important, yet poorly understood reaction not only found in food but also in biological systems. The enormous heterogeneity of peptides and the complexity of glycation reactions impeded large-scale analysis of peptide derived ...

Peptide barcoding for one-pot evaluation of sequence–function relationships of nanobodies
Scientific Reports, 2021Optimisation of protein binders relies on laborious screening processes. Investigation of sequence–function relationships of protein binders is particularly slow, since mutants are purified and evaluated individually. Here we developed peptide barcoding,
