Bacterial proteins are synthesized with an N-formylated amino-terminal methionine ... proteins are co-translationally deformylated by peptide deformylase. Here we develop a deformylation assay ...

The UPSTEP study findings support those of the recently published SIGNAL-HF study, [9] performed in a primary care setting in Sweden, but differs from earlier studies and provides some new insights.

N-terminal sequencing targets the amino-terminal (N-terminal) end of a protein or peptide, which corresponds to the first ... results—such as when peptides lack fragmentation or exhibit signal ...

Despite an alarming increase in morbidity and mortality caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, the number of antibiotics available to efficiently combat them is dwindling. Consequently, there is ...

(Photo credit: Bang Oland/Dreamstime) BNP is a peptide (a short chain of amino acids ... When your blood vessels get the signal from BNP, it tells them to open up more to lower blood pressure ...

Each protein or peptide consists of a linear sequence of amino acids. The protein primary structure conventionally begins at the amino-terminal (N) end and continues until the carboxyl-terminal (C ...

This segment turned out to be an 18-amino-acid sequence, which the team termed Exosome Binding Peptide (EBP). The team found that “addition of EBP to an unrelated protein directed secretion on ...
