## Abstract The proapoptotic influenza A virus PB1‐F2 protein contributes to viral pathogenicity and is present in most human and avian isolates. Previous synthetic protocols have been improved to provide a synthetic full length H1N1 type PB1‐F2 protein that is encoded by the ‘Spanish flu’ isolate

## Abstract The 173–195 segment corresponding to the helix 2 of the globular PrP domain is a good candidate to be one of the several ‘spots’ of intrinsic structural flexibility, which might induce local destabilization and concur to protein transformation, leading to aggregation‐prone conformations
Solid-phase synthesis was used to prepare several peptides related to staphylococcal protein A, including a 58residue sequence corresponding to the entire &domain of the protein. These materials were characterized by a combination of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and microchemical methods,
Antibodies induced against intact foot-and-mouth disease Virus (FMDV) particles bind to the retro-inverso analogue of fragment 141-159 of the viral coat protein VP1 of FMDV, variant A, equally well as to the parent peptide. A conformational investigation of this retro-inverso peptide was carried out
