Alamethicin, a peptide consisted of 20 amino acid residues, has been known to function as an antibiotic. The peptides self-associate in biological membranes, form an ion channel, and then induce cell death by leaking intracellular contents through a transmembrane pore of an ion channel. We investigated conformation and its thermal stability of alamethicin-A6 and -U6 in ethanol using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy; alamethicin-A6 and -U6 have the amino acid sequences of...

Conformational dynamics and alignment properties of loop lanthanide-binding-tags (LBTs) studied in interleukin-1β
Conformational dynamics and alignment properties of loop lanthanide-binding-tags (LBTs) studied in interleukin-1β
Abstract
Encodable lanthanide binding tags (LBTs) have become an attractive tool in modern structural biology as they can be expressed as fusion proteins of targets of choice. Previously, we have demonstrated the feasibility of inserting encodable LBTs into loop positions of interleukin-1β (Barthelmes et al. in J Am Chem Soc 133:808â??819, 2011). Here, we investigate the differences in fast dynamics of selected loop-LBT interleukin-1β...
