Many adhesive proteins present in extracellular matrices and in blood contain the tetrapeptide sequence -Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-(or RGDS) at their cell recognition site. Since this sequence, or similar ones, was found in many proteins involved in major biological mechanisms, conformational investigations w

The conformational behaviour of the biologically active angiotensinogen (6-13) fragment has been investigated by computer simulations. A large sample of conformers has been generated using the Monte-Carlo procedure, then analysed using classification and partition methods. Seven families can describ
## Abstract Bombolitin II is a member of a family of five structurally related heptadecapeptides, originally isolated from the venom of a bumblebee, acting at the membrane level and able to increase the activity of phospholipase A~2~. The biological activity of bombolitins seems to be related to th
determinations of the intramolecular thermodynamics of the Ala dipeptide in the C7, Cs, C X ~, and PI1 conformations are reported. The calculations are carried out in the quasiharmonic approximation, with intramolecular entropies determined from the covariance matrix of the atomic displacements. The
