We developed a visible detection system for antibody-catalyzed retro-aldol-retro-Michael reactions. Aldolase antibody 38C2 catalyzed the reaction of substrate 1 to provide 6-bromo-2-napthol that forms...
Ribonuclease S peptide and S protein offer a unique complementation system to understand the finer features of molecular recognition. In the present study the S peptide (1-16), and its retro and retro...
Operations on maps are well-known theoretical tools for transforming a given polyhedral tessellation. Several theoretical investigations of fullerenes, such as their pi-electronic structure and stabil...
Fast and convenient methods are required for the detection of novel catalysts. We have developed a new assay to allow direct visualization of retro-aldol retro-Michael catalytic activity and have demo...
Bombolitins are five structurally related heptadecapeptides which lyse erythrocytes and liposomes and enhance the activity of phospholipase A2. The conformational properties of the all-D-, retro-all-D...
Partially modified retro- (PMR) and retro-inverso (PMRI) psi[NHCH(CF(3))]Gly peptides, a conceptually new class of peptidomimetics, have been synthesized in wide structural diversity and variable leng...
The SIKVAV peptide, located on the long arm of the laminin alpha1 chain, promotes cell adhesion, invasion and migration of tumor and endothelial cells, resulting in tumor growth, angiogenesis and meta...
The retro-retinoids 14-hydroxy-4,14-retro-retinol (14-HRR) and anhydroretinol (AR) are endogenous metabolites of retinol (Vitamin A). 14-HRR and retinol, but not retinoic acid, promote the proliferati...
