Semisynthesis of carboxy‐terminal fragments of thermolysin

open access: yesInternational Journal of Peptide and Protein Research, 1990
Enzyme‐catalyzed synthesis of two polypeptide fragments, one of which is obtained by chemical synthesis, in the presence of proteolytic enzymes and in aqueous organic solvents constitutes a convenient procedure for the synthesis of proteins and their analogs.

Soluble protein analog selection engine (SPASE): An automated AI‐powered server to improve protein engineering workflows

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The design of proteins with desired biophysical properties, such as high solubility and low aggregation propensity, is crucial for various biotechnological and biomedical applications. While deep learning‐based methods like ProteinMPNN have shown remarkable success in protein sequence design, their direct output may not always exhibit optimal ...

Substrate-dependent Activation of Thermolysin by Salt [PDF]

open access: yesBioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2004
Salt-activation of thermolysin was examined using a positively charged fluorescent substrate, (7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)acetyl-L-Pro-L-Leu-Gly-L-Leu-[N(3)-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-L-2,3-diaminopropionyl]-L-Ala-L-Arg-NH(2) [MOCAc-PLGL(Dpa)AR]. Thermolysin activity increased in a biphasic exponential fashion and was 40 times higher in the presence of 4 M NaCl ...

Evolution of N‐terminal mechanical lability as a determinant for Type III secretion

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Many Gram‐negative pathogens critically depend on the Type III secretion system (T3SS) to inject effector proteins into host cells for colonization. Because the channel of the T3SS is narrow (~2 nm), effectors must be unfolded for secretion.

Rice-memolin, a novel peptide derived from rice bran, improves cognitive function after oral administration in mice

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Many people eat polished rice, while rice bran, a by-product known to be rich in protein and expected to have potential functions for health benefits, has not been effectively utilized.

The Role of Water in Protein–Ligand Binding: Decisive Factor, Annoying Feature, or Indispensable Control Element: In Any Case, a Major Challenge

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Water influences ligand binding to a protein. Replacing, picking up, or modulating water dynamics restructures the water arrangement and affects the enthalpic and entropic signatures of binding. Whether the two properties add up or cancel each other out determines the expected ligand affinity enhancement.

A Chirality‐Converted Bacteriolytic Dodecapeptide Regulates Vibrio‐Induced Polymicrobial Infection and Ameliorates Invasion‐Associated Gut Microbiota Disequilibrium

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.
Multidrug‐resistant Vibrio infections are rising rapidly and threaten coastal populations worldwide. This study introduces D‐zp37, a chirality‐engineered antimicrobial peptide with exceptional potency against resistant Vibrio species. D‐zp37 kills planktonic cells, blocks mixed‐species biofilms, disrupts essential bacterial stress responses, and shows ...

Bioactivities of peptide fractions derived from proteolytic enzyme-injected Hanwoo longissimus muscle in a model system

open access: yesInternational Journal of Food Properties, 2018
In this study, crude peptide fractions from Hanwoo loins were released by injecting with proteolytic enzymes [no enzymes (control); protease type XIII (E1); thermolysin (E2); and combination of E1 and E2 (E3)] and their bioactivities were determined. The

Effects of Radiation Damage on Metal-Binding Sites in Thermolysin

open access: yesCrystals
Radiation damage is an inherent problem in macromolecular crystallography because it impairs the diffraction quality of crystals and produces inaccurate structural information.
