Characteristics of the enzyme-induced release of bitter peptides from wheat gluten hydrolysates
Bitter 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.

Molecular characterization of sequence-driven peptide glycation
Peptide 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
Optimisation 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,

Data storage using peptide sequences [PDF]
Abstract 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 ...

Sequence-dependent Internalization of Aggregating Peptides [PDF]
Recently, a number of aggregation disease polypeptides have been shown to spread from cell to cell, thereby displaying prionoid behavior. Studying aggregate internalization, however, is often hampered by the complex kinetics of the aggregation process, resulting in the concomitant uptake of aggregates of different sizes by competing mechanisms, which ...

The Cell Adhesion Activity of the Joining Peptide of Proopiomelanocortin
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor protein of several peptide hormones, such as ACTH and β-endorphin. Almost all of the peptide hormones in POMC have been drastically investigated in terms of their biological activities.

Peptide detection of fungal functional amyloids in infected tissue. [PDF]
Many fungal cell adhesion proteins form functional amyloid patches on the surface of adhering cells. The Candida albicans Agglutinin-like sequence (Als) adhesins are exemplars for this phenomenon, and have amyloid forming sequences that are conserved ...
