CXCR1 is one of two high-affinity receptors for the CXC chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8), a major
mediator of immune and inflammatory responses implicated in many disorders, including …

Much of postgenomic biochemistry and all of structural biology are based on the premise
that the starting point for both understanding specific biochemical processes, such as affinity, …

Magainin 2 is a 23‐residue peptide that forms an amphipathic α‐helix in membrane
environments. It functions as an antibiotic and is known to disrupt the electrochemical gradients …

The secondary structure and topology of membrane proteins can be described by inspection
of two-dimensional 1 H-15 N dipolar coupling/15 N chemical shift polarization inversion …

Magainin2 is a 23-residue antibiotic peptide that disrupts the ionic gradient across certain
cellmembranes. Two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate the structure …

The three-dimensional structure of the channel-forming trans-membrane domain of virus
protein “u” (Vpu) of HIV-1 was determined by NMR spectroscopy in micelle and bilayer samples…

Acyl carrier protein (ACP) transports the growing fatty acid chain between enzymatic domains
of fatty acid synthase (FAS) during biosynthesis 1 . Because FAS enzymes operate on ACP…

The extremely chemically resistant component of the cell wall of spores, pollens, and some
microorganisms, sporopollenin, is generally accepted to be derived from carotenoids or …

Bacteria carrying plasmids with the mer operon, which encodes the proteins responsible for
the bacterial mercury detoxification system, have the ability to transport Hg(II) across the cell …

Magnetically aligned bicelles are an excellent medium for structure determination of isotopically
labeled membrane proteins by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Bicelles are a mixture of …
