Lin and her lab use computational chemistry to provide information on the solution structures of cyclic peptides. [2] They recently successfully used molecular dynamics simulation with enhanced sampling methods to design well-structured cyclic peptides. [12] [13]
α-Amanitin Bacitracin Ciclosporin. Cyclic peptides are polypeptide chains which contain a circular sequence of bonds. [1] This can be through a connection between the amino and carboxyl ends of the peptide, for example in cyclosporin; a connection between the amino end and a side chain, for example in bacitracin; the carboxyl end and a side chain, for example in colistin; or two side chains ...
Trapoxin, (cyclo-(L-phenylalanyl-L-phenylalanyl-D-pipecolinyl-L-2-amino-8- oxo-9,10-epoxy-decanoyl)), is commonly known as an anti-tumor cyclic tetra-peptide. In a prior study, it has been found that the fungal product, Trapoxin, can induce morphological reversion from transformed to normal in sis-transformed NIH3T3 fibroblasts.
Chrysosporide is a cyclic pentapeptide. It is isolated from the mycoparasitic fungus Sepedonium chrysospermum, found in New Zealand. [1] References
The finite group notation used is: Z n: cyclic group of order n, D n: dihedral group isomorphic to the symmetry group of an n–sided regular polygon, S n: symmetric group on n letters, and A n: alternating group on n letters. The character tables then follow for all groups.
Figure 1. Flow Chart of Virtual Screening [1]. Virtual screening (VS) is a computational technique used in drug discovery to search libraries of small molecules in order to identify those structures which are most likely to bind to a drug target, typically a protein receptor or enzyme.
The design of a molecular dynamics simulation should account for the available computational power. Simulation size (n = number of particles), timestep, and total time duration must be selected so that the calculation can finish within a reasonable time period. However, the simulations should be long enough to be relevant to the time scales of ...
The stunting effect of kalata B1 cyclic peptide on growth and development of Helicoverpa punctigera, a caterpillar from the Lepidopteran order. [6]Cyclotides have been reported to have a wide range of biological activities, including anti-HIV, insecticidal, anti-tumour, antifouling, anti-microbial, hemolytic, neurotensin antagonism, trypsin inhibition, and uterotonic activities.
