Császár AG, Furtenbacher T.
PMID: 26398318
J Phys Chem A. 2015 Oct 08;119(40):10229-40. doi: 10.1021/acs.jpca.5b07156. Epub 2015 Sep 23.

An additive, linear, atom-type-based (ATB) scheme is developed allowing no-cost estimation of zero-point vibrational energies (ZPVE) of neutral, closed-shell molecules in their ground electronic states. The atom types employed correspond to those defined within the MM2 molecular mechanics force...

Establishing Effective Simulation Protocols for β- and α/β-Mixed Peptides. I. QM and QM/MM Models.

Zhu X, Yethiraj A, Cui Q.
PMID: 26633224
J Chem Theory Comput. 2007 Jul;3(4):1538-49. doi: 10.1021/ct600352e.

A quantum mechanical (QM) model for non-natural β- and α/β-mixed peptides is investigated using an approximate density functional method (called SCC-DFTB). In the gas phase the predictions of the model for cyclic and acyclic dipeptides and several acyclic heptapeptides...

Excited State Electron Distribution and Role of the Terminal Amine in Acidic and Basic Tryptophan Dipeptide Fluorescence.

J Mol Struct. 2016 Aug 15;1118:56-67. doi: 10.1016/j.molstruc.2016.03.098.

The results of quantum yield (QY) study of tryptophanyl glutamate (Trp-Glu), tryptophanyl lysine (Trp-Lys) and lysinyl tryptophan (Lys-Trp) dipeptides over the pH range, 1.5 - 13, show that the charge state of the N-terminal amine, and not the nominal...

Dipeptide concave nanospheres based on interfacially controlled self-assembly: from crescent to solid.

Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP

Wang J, Shen G, Ma K, Jiao T, Liu K, Yan X.
PMID: 27722335

Concave nanospheres based on the self-assembly of simple dipeptides not only provide alternatives for modeling the interactions between biomacromolecules, but also present a range of applications for purification and separation, and delivery of active species. The kinetic control of...

Improved Statistical Sampling and Accuracy with Accelerated Molecular Dynamics on Rotatable Torsions.

Journal of chemical theory and computation

Doshi U, Hamelberg D.
PMID: 26605567
J Chem Theory Comput. 2012 Nov 13;8(11):4004-12. doi: 10.1021/ct3004194. Epub 2012 Sep 11.

In enhanced sampling techniques, the precision of the reweighted ensemble properties is often decreased due to large variation in statistical weights and reduction in the effective sampling size. To abate this reweighting problem, here, we propose a general accelerated...

Bioactive Plant Metabolites in the Management of Non-Communicable Metabolic Diseases: Looking at Opportunities beyond the Horizon.

Metabolites

Prasad C, Imrhan V, Juma S, Maziarz M, Prasad A, Tiernan C, Vijayagopal P.
PMID: 26703752
Metabolites. 2015 Dec 12;5(4):733-65. doi: 10.3390/metabo5040733.

There has been an unprecedented worldwide rise in non-communicable metabolic diseases (NCDs), particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and diabetes. While modern pharmacotherapy has decreased the mortality in the existing population, it has failed to stem the rise. Furthermore, a large...

Dietary supplemental vitamin B6 increases carnosine and anserine concentrations in the heart of rats.

SpringerPlus

Suidasari S, Hasegawa T, Yanaka N, Kato N.
PMID: 26101732
Springerplus. 2015 Jun 19;4:280. doi: 10.1186/s40064-015-1074-8. eCollection 2015.

This study was performed to examine the effect of dietary level of vitamin B6 on the concentrations of carnosine and anserine, antioxidants, in the heart of rats. Analysis using UPLC-MS/MS showed that the concentrations of these dipeptides in the...

Opening a Can of Worm(-like Micelle)s: The Effect of Temperature of Solutions of Functionalized Dipeptides.

A simple heat/cool cycle can be used to significantly affect the properties of a solution of a low-molecular-weight gelator at high pH. The viscosity and extensional viscosity are increased markedly, leading to materials with very different properties than when...

Model prebiotic dipeptide sequences were identified by bioinformatics and DFT and molecular dynamics calculations. The peptides were then synthesized and evaluated for metal affinity and specificity. Cysteine containing dipeptides were not associated with metal affinities that followed the Irving-Williams...
