Understanding the role of intramolecular ion-pair interactions in conformational stability using an ab initio thermodynamic cycle [PDF]
Intramolecular ion-pair interactions yield shape and functionality to many molecules. With proper orientation, these interactions overcome steric factors and are responsible for the compact structures of several peptides. In this study, we present a thermodynamic cycle based on isoelectronic and alchemical mutation to estimate intramolecular ion-pair ...

Two related thrombin-like enzymes present in Bothrops atrox venom
This article describes the presence of two new forms of a thrombin-like enzyme, both with apparent molecular masses of 38 kDa, in Bothrops atrox venom. Both share the ability to cleave fibrinogen into fibrin and to digest casein.

Bioactive peptides from venoms against glioma progression
Venoms are complex mixtures of different molecules and ions. Among them, bioactive peptides have been found to affect cancer hallmarks, such as cell proliferation, cell invasion, cell migration, and can also modulate the immune response of normal and ...
