KALA, an amphiphilic peptide, adopts an α-helical conformation under physiological pH conditions. It functions as a fusogenic peptide, modifying the liposomal membrane that encapsulates plasmid DNA, thereby facilitating liver targeting and DNA transfection through galactose receptors.
[Glu4]-Oxytocin is a suitable derivative of oxytocin for conducting a thorough investigation, utilizing various methods, into the conformation of "oxytocin-like" molecules in aqueous solution.
Antagonist of TrkB receptors; inhibits BDNF-induced TrkB activity (IC50 = 0.30 nM). Allosterically alters TrkB receptor conformation but does not alter BDNF binding. Prevents BDNF-induced cold allodynia in mice. Also shown to exhibit putative anxiolytic p
Lamin fragment has a peptide sequence of Lys-Ala-Gly-Gln-Val-Val-Thr-Ile-Trp. Lamin polypeptides have an almost complete α-helical conformation with multiple α-helical domains separated by non-α-helical linkers that are highly conserved in length and amin
