Studies of Tryptophans in Membrane- Spanning WALP Peptides by Deuterium NMR Spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2000 WALP pep tides of sequence acetyl-Gly-Trp-Trp-(Leu-Ala)-Trp-Trp-Ala-ethanolamine insert into lipid bilayers as membrane-spanning a-helices and modulate the lipid phase behavior as functions of n and the lipid acyl chain length.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.DNA strands are employed both as dynamic linkers and nanoscale templates for the integration of Ag2S nanoparticles on MoS2, which in turn imparted photothermal responsiveness; this feature permits the selective cargo (fluorophore, quantum dots or an enzyme) release from the MoS2 surface in response to local heat induced by light irradiation.

Antibiofilm Activities of Tritrpticin Analogs Against Pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 Strains
MoleculesIn our previous work, we showed that short antimicrobial hexapeptides (AMPs) containing three Trp and three Arg residues had a potent antibiofilm activity against a pathogenic Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus MRSA strain.

Oral Branched-Chain Amino Acid Supplements That Reduce Brain Serotonin During Exercise in Rats Also Lower Brain Catecholamines [PDF]
, 2013 Exercise raises brain serotonin release and is postulated to cause fatigue in athletes; ingestion of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), by competitively inhibiting tryptophan transport into brain, lowers brain tryptophan uptake and serotonin synthesis ...

On the prevalence of bridged macrocyclic pyrroloindolines formed in regiodivergent alkylations of tryptophan. [PDF]
, 2016 A Friedel-Crafts alkylation is described that efficiently transforms tryptophan-containing peptides into macrocycles of varying ring connectivity. Factors are surveyed that influence the distribution of regioisomers, with a focus on indole C3-alkylations
