Balancing hydrophobicity and sequence pattern to influence self‐assembly of amphipathic peptides
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Peptide Science"
DOI: 10.1002/bip.23099
Abstract: Amphipathic peptides with alternating polar and nonpolar amino acid sequences efficiently self‐assemble into functional β‐sheet fibrils as long as the nonpolar residues have sufficient hydrophobicity. For example, the Ac‐(FKFE)2‐NH2 peptide rapidly self‐assembles into β‐sheet bilayer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cbic.201900082
Abstract: The local hydrophobicity of an amino acid residue in a peptide sequence can be determined by measuring the hydrophobicity index (φ0) by reversed‐phase (RP) HPLC. Herein, the impact on the local hydrophobicity of the replacement… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/macp.201900041
Abstract: Following recent works on gas/solid fluorination applied to massive wood that sustainably increased its hydrophobicity thanks to the substitution of -OH groups by covalent fluorine atoms, the present paper demonstrates that torrefaction may replace the… read more here.
