Pancreatic cancer-derived S-100A8 N-terminal peptide: a diabetes cause? [PDF]
, 2006 BACKGROUND: Our aim was to identify the pancreatic cancer diabetogenic peptide. METHODS: Pancreatic tumor samples from patients with (n=15) or without (n=7) diabetes were compared with 6 non-neoplastic pancreas samples using SDS-PAGE.

Design of embedded-hybrid antimicrobial peptides with enhanced cell selectivity and anti-biofilm activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Antimicrobial peptides have attracted considerable attention because of their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and their low prognostic to induce antibiotic resistance which is the most common source of failure in bacterial infection treatment along

BRUCE: a program for the detection of transfer-messenger RNA genes in nucleotide sequences [PDF]
, 2002 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.

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 ...

The first salamander defensin antimicrobial peptide. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Antimicrobial peptides have been widely identified from amphibian skins except salamanders. A novel antimicrobial peptide (CFBD) was isolated and characterized from skin secretions of the salamander, Cynops fudingensis.
