Neuropeptide gamma is one of the largest members of the tachykinin family of peptides, exhibiting strong agonistic activity towards the NK-2 tachykinin receptor. This peptide was synthesized by the solid-phase method using the Fmoc chemistry. Circular-dichroism spectroscopy (CD) investigations of th

Pulsed-field gradient diffusion has been used to study the binding of two tachykinin peptides, [Tyr 8 ]-substance P (SP) and [Tyr 0 ]-neurokinin A (NKA) to two membrane-mimicking micelles, dodecylphosphocholine, and sodium dodecylsulfate. The structure of these peptides bound to the micelles have al
## Abstract The circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) methods were applied to the conformational studies of alanine‐rich peptide Ac‐K‐[A]~11~‐KGGY‐NH~2~ (where K is lysine, A is alanine, G is glycine and Y is tyrozyne) in water, methanol (MeOH) and trifluoroethanol (TFE). Th
