Exploiting Peptide Self-Assembly for the Development of Minimalistic Viral Mimetics

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Viruses are natural supramolecular nanostructures that form spontaneously by molecular self-assembly of complex biomolecules. Peptide self-assembly is a versatile tool that allows mimicking viruses by creating their simplified versions through the design

Efficient processing of an antigenic sequence for presentation by MHC class I molecules depends on its neighboring residues in the protein [PDF]

, 1991
Processing of endogenously synthesized proteins generates short peptides that are presented by MHC class I molecules to CD8 T lymphocytes. Here it is documented that not only the sequence of the presented peptide but also the residues by which it is ...

Aminopeptidase C of Aspergillus niger is a Novel Phenylalanine Aminopeptidase [PDF]

, 2003
A novel enzyme with a specific phenylalanine aminopeptidase activity (ApsC) from Aspergillus niger (CBS 120.49) has been characterized. The derived amino acid sequence is not similar to any previously characterized aminopeptidase sequence but does share ...

Two polymorphisms facilitate differences in plasticity between two chicken major histocompatibility complex class I proteins [PDF]

, 2014
Major histocompatibility complex class I molecules (MHC I) present peptides to cytotoxic T-cells at the surface of almost all nucleated cells. The function of MHC I molecules is to select high affinity peptides from a large intracellular pool and they ...
