## Abstract Pexiganan (GlyβIleβGlyβLysβPheβLeuβLysβLysβAlaβLysβLysβPheβGlyβLysβAlaβPheβValβLysβIleβLeuβLysβLys), a 22 amino acid peptide, is an analogue of the magainin family of antimicrobial peptides present in the skin of the African clawed frog. Conformational analysis of pexiganan was carried

Tripeptidesserve as model systems for understanding the so-called random-coil state of peptides and proteins. While it is well known that polyproline or proline-rich polypeptides adopt the very regular polyproline-II (PPII) or left-handed 3(1)-helix conformation, it was thus far not clear whether th
Protein S (PS) and growth arrest specific factor 6 (GAS6) are vitamin K-dependent proteins with similar structures. They are mosaic proteins possessing a carboxylterminal region presenting sequence similarity with plasma sex hormone binding globulin (plasma SHBG), although apparently not involved in
We compared changes in the fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) and multiply charged electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) spectra of three calcium (Ca 2 )-binding proteins upon the binding of Ca . The proteins used were rat brain calbindin D 28K and two deletion mutants, one lacking E
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between oxidized RNase A protein structure and the occurrence of protein aggregation using several spectroscopic techniques. Circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) measurements taken at small temperature intervals were used to determine t
