This research identified four amino acid residues(Leu174,Asn297,Tyr301,and Gln291)that contribute to sub-strate recognition by the high-affinity glucose transporter Xltr1p from Trichoderma reesei.Potential hotspots af...
Antimicrobial peptides are promising therapeutic agents in view of increasing resistance to conventional antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides usually fold in α-helical, β-sheet, and extended/random-coil structures. T...
Peptide stapling strategy has been proven a promising solution in addressing two major pharmacological hurdles, proteolytic stability and membrane permeability, for small peptides as therapeutics. This stapling peptid...

A chirality induced helicity method has been developed to modulate the peptide's biophysical and biochemical properties. We report herein a novel approach for reversibly switching the conformation of short constraint...
Protein Secondary Structure Prediction (PSSP) is considered as one of the major challenging tasks in bioinformatics, so many solutions have been proposed to solve that problem via trying to achieve more accurate predi...
A 3-D electrostatic density map generated using the Wavefront Topology System and Finite Element Method clearly demonstrates the non-uniformity and periodicity present in even a single loop of an α-helix. The four di...

We present a study of the physical properties of the vibrational excitation in α-helicoidal macromolecular chains, caused by the interaction with acoustical and optical phonon modes. The influence of the temperature ...
We have performed molecular dynamics simulations on the reversible folding/unfolding of small α-helix(short Ala based peptide Ala5) in explicit water solvent in terms of ABEEMσπ/MM.A dynamics analysis shows that t...
