Bis peptides are analogues of peptide s, but consist of bis amino acid s, which bear two carboxyl group s and two amino group s. The connection of specific bis amino acids leads to the formation of bis peptides with well defined molecular shape, which is of great interest for designing nano structures. Possible applications that are currently investigated, include the binding and inactivation of cholera toxin and the cross linkage of surface protein s of various viruses HIV , Ebola virus . Further the group of Christian Schafmeister developed molecular hinges, which can be used for the construction of molecular machine s, such as nano valve s or data storage device data storage systems.

Peptide sequence or amino acid sequence is the order in which amino acid residues, connected by peptide bond s, lie in the chain in peptide s and protein s . The sequence is generally reported from the N terminal end containing free amino group to the C terminal end containing free carboxyl group . Peptide sequence is often called protein sequence if it represents the primary structure of a protein . Sequence notation and applications Many peptide sequences have been in sequence database s. These databases may use various notations to describe the peptide sequence. The full names of the amino acids are rarely given instead, Amino acid Table of standard amino acid abbreviations and properties 3 letter or 1 letter abbreviations are usually recorded for conciseness. Several deductions can be made from the sequence itself. Long stretches of hydrophobic residues may indicate transmembrane helix transmembrane helices . These helices may indicate the peptide is a cell receptor . Certain residues indicate a beta sheet area. If full length protein sequence is available, it is possible to estimate the isoelectric point of the protein. Methods for determining the peptide sequence include deduction from DNA sequence, Edman degradation , and mass spectrometry . Techniques in sequence analysis can be applied to learn more about the peptide. These techniques generally consist of comparing the sequence to other sequences from sequence databases. Other sequences may have already been studied and determined to be significant. Findings about these sequences may be applicable to the sequence under investigation.

Peptide computing is a form of computing which uses peptide s and molecular biology , instead of traditional silicon based computer technologies. The basis of this computational model is the affinity of antibodies towards peptide sequences. Similar to DNA computing , the parallel interactions of peptide sequences and antibodies have been used by this model to solve a few NP complete problems. Specifically, the hamiltonian path problem HPP and some versions of the set cover problem are a few NP complete problems which have been solved using this computational model so far. This model of computation has also been shown to be Turing completeness computationally universal or Turing complete . This model of computation has some critical advantages over DNA computing . For instance, while DNA is made of four building blocks, peptide s are made of twenty building blocks. The peptide antibody interactions are also more flexible with respect to recognition and affinity than an interaction between a DNA strand and its reverse complement. However, unlike DNA computing, this model is yet to be practically realized. The main limitation is the availability of specific monoclonal antibodies required by the model.

Peptide amphiphile s are peptide based molecules that self assemble into high aspect ratio nanofibers. They were first described by the group of Samuel I. Stupp at Northwestern University in 2003. These molecules typically have three regions a hydrophobic tail, a region of beta sheet forming amino acids, and a peptide epitope designed to allow solubility of the molecule in water, perform a biological function by interacting with living systems, or both. Self assembly occurs by the combination of hydrogen bonding between beta sheet forming amino acids and hydrophobic collapse of the tails to yield the formation of cylindrical micelles that present the peptide epitope at extremely high density at the nanofiber surface. This self assembly of molecules into fibers occurs spontaneously in all solutions of peptide amphiphiles, which have a vanishingly small critical micelle concentration. By changing pH or adding counterions to screen the charged surfaces of fibers, gels can be formed. It has been shown that injection of peptide amphiphile solutions in vivo leads to in situ gel formation due to the presence of counterions in physiological solutions. This, along with the complete biodegradability of the materials, suggests numerous applications in in vitro and in vivo therapies.

nofootnotes date March 2011 Orphan date August 2010 Image WALP 19.png thumb 280px WALP 19 protein peptide of the following sequence of 19 amino acids GWWLALALALALALALWWA. Tryptophan residues are shown in green while leucines and alanines are displayed in red and blue, respectively. WALP peptides are a class of synthesized, membrane spanning Alpha helix helices composed of tryptophan W , alanine A , and leucine L amino acids. They are designed to study properties of proteins in lipid membranes such as orientation, extent of insertion, and hydrophobic mismatch . Significance The transmembrane region of many integral membrane proteins consists of at least one alpha helix, which can directly affect cell signaling and molecular transport across the bilayer. The hydrophobic environment of the phospholipid tails affects the position and structure of such domains and thus may influence protein function. The bilayer can change the thickness of its hydrocarbon region to interact optimally with hydrophobic regions of a transmembrane protein, such as a WALP. WALPs provide an effective model for studying such interactions because of their hydrophobic, alternating alanine and leucine regions. They are readily manipulated by extending or decreasing the number of amino acids and by substituting the anchoring tryptophan residues for charged residues, such as arginine and lysine. Additionally, they are useful for studying the impact of changes in lipid composition on peptide insertion. Responses to lipid environment When hydrophobic mismatch occurs, WALPs are known to tilt in the bilayer. The extent of this tilt is affected up to a certain point by an entropy contribution that arises from the helix s presence in the bilayer and then by more specific helix lipid interactions. When charged residues are substituted for the anchoring residues, these charged amino acids prefer a higher position ... pmc 2895360 Reflist External links http www.example.com example.com DEFAULTSORT Walp Peptide Category ... more details
