BRUCE: a program for the detection of transfer-messenger RNA genes in nucleotide sequences [PDF]
A computer program, BRUCE, was developed for the identification of transfer‐messenger RNA (tmRNA) genes. The program employs heuristic algorithms to search for a tRNAAla‐like secondary structure surrounding a short sequence encoding the tag peptide.

A Peptide Core Motif for Binding to Heterotrimeric G Protein α Subunits [PDF]
Recently, in vitro selection using mRNA display was used to identify a novel peptide sequence that binds with high affinity to G{alpha}i1. The peptide was minimized to a 9-residue sequence (R6A-1) that retains high affinity and specificity for the GDP ...

Self-assembly of minimal peptoid sequences [PDF]
Peptoids are biofunctional N-substituted glycine peptidomimics. Their self-assembly is of fundamental interest because they demonstrate alternatives to conventional peptide structures based on backbone chirality and beta-sheet hydrogen bonding.

Solution to peptide sequencing challenge [PDF]
The cyclic peptide described is kalata B1 [1, 2] and its structure is shown in Fig. 1. The partial reduction of the cyclic peptide [2, 3] allows one to establish the disulfide connectivity. The first peptide is amino-ethylated at only {2}Cys and {5}Cys, whereas the second peptide is amino-ethylated at only {1}Cys and {4}Cys.

The Carboxyl-Terminal Segment of Apolipoprotein A-V Undergoes a Lipid-Induced Conformational Change [PDF]
Apolipoprotein (apo) A-V is a 343-residue, multidomain protein that plays an important role in regulation of plasma triglyceride homeostasis. Primary sequence analysis revealed a unique tetraproline sequence (Pro293-Pro296) near the carboxyl terminus of ...

A Dynamic Programming Approach to De Novo Peptide Sequencing via Tandem Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
The tandem mass spectrometry fragments a large number of molecules of the same peptide sequence into charged prefix and suffix subsequences, and then measures mass/charge ratios of these ions.

Sequence homology between HLA-bound cytomegalovirus and human peptides: A potential trigger for alloreactivity. [PDF]
Human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) reactivation may often coincide with the development of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) in stem cell transplantation (SCT).
