Peptides are fragments of proteins that carry out biological functions. They act as signaling
entities via all domains of life and interfere with protein-protein interactions, which are …

In recent years, our understanding of protein structure and function has advanced rapidly,
providing a mechanistic understanding of a wide variety of biological processes. As an …

The preferred conformations of peptides heavily based on the currently extensively exploited
achiral and chiral α‐amino acids with a quaternary α‐carbon atom, as determined by …

Peptaibols and the related peptaibiotics are linear, amphipathic polypeptides. More than
300 of these secondary metabolites have been described to date. These compounds are …

The introduction of non-coded amino acids with well defined stereochemical and functional
properties will greatly enhance the scope of protein design and engineering. The present …

Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response that normalizes wall stress and compensates
for increased workload. It is accompanied by distinct qualitative and quantitative changes in …

Relevant parameters and stereochemical consequences of helices [α‐helix, 310‐helix, β‐
bend ribbon spiral, γ‐helix, 2.05‐helix, poly (Pro) n type‐I and‐II helices, and collagen triple …

The review article summarizes the most relevant solid state structural and conformational
results obtained in the laboratories involved in Italy in the studies of synthetic and natural …

An original group of antibiotic-antifungal peptides of the peptaibol class, the harzianins HC,
was isolated from T. harzianum strains selected for their antagonistic properties against …

There are two isoforms (A1 and A2) of the myosin essential light chain (ELC) and
consequently two isoenzymes of myosin subfragment 1 (S1), S1 (A1) and S1 (A2). The two …
