Switch-peptides as folding precursors in amyloid fibrillogenesis

Sonia Dos Santos, Richard Alan Mimna, Karine Murat, Lydiane Jeanine Saucède, Marie-Stéphanie Camus, Jérémy Bérard

Intramol. O,N-acyl migration reactions were used as structural switch (S-elements) from a depsipeptide bond contg., unfolded state (Soff) to an all-amide, native states (Son). Chem. or enzymically triggered acyl migrations allowed for the controlled induct ...

Anisotropic Local Motions and Location of Amide Protons in Proteins

Geoffrey Bodenhausen

A new method has been developed to obtain dynamic and structural information about peptide planes in proteins by a combination of measurements of weak short-range cross-correlation rates R(HNN/NC') that are due to concerted fluctuations of the HN-N and N-C ...
