✦ Synopsis

Quinones are a central component of most photosynthetic and respiratory electron transfer chains. The proteins that reduce and oxidise these quinones have quinone binding sites-Q sites-that are good targets for pesticides. This paper reviews the diversity of these sites, their possible structure, and the types of compounds that act upon them.

## Abstract We describe a new approach to calculate the binding of flexible peptides and unfolded proteins to multicomponent lipid membranes. The method is based on the transfer matrix formalism of statistical mechanics recently described as a systematic tool to study DNA–protein–drug binding in ge

Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) is bound to vitronectin (VN) in plasma and in the extracellular matrix. We previously employed a domainswapping approach to show that the high-affinity binding site for PAI-1 in VN is contained within residues 12-30 in the amino-terminal somatomedin B (

A disaccharide scaffold based on galabiose (Gala1-4Gal) was synthesized. Four different acceptors were evaluated in the a-galactosylation and a relationship between the nucleophilicity, yield, and a/b-selectivity was found. The scaffold contains two orthogonal derivatisation sites, i.e. at O-2% and
