An analysis of optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroisin of RNA is described which leads to an estimate of the degree of base pairing. By the use of new standards for the double-helical parts of the molecule, based on data for two-stranded viral RNA species, a good fit between calculated a

The estimation of protein secondary structure from circular dichroism spectra is described by a multivariate linear model with noise (Gauss-Markoff model). With this formalism the adequacy of the linear model is investigated, paying special attention to the estimation of the error in the secondary s
We have expanded our reference set of proteins used in the estimation of protein secondary structure by CD spectroscopy from 29 to 37 proteins by including 3 additional globular proteins with known X-ray structure and 5 denatured proteins. We have also modified the self-consistent method for analyzi
A new procedure based on the statistical method of "variable selection" is used to predict the secondary structure of proteins from circular dichroism spectra. Variable selection adds the flexibility found in the Provencher and GlΓΆckner method (S. W. Provencher and J. GlΓΆckner, 1981, Biochemistry 20
## 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
