Intrinsically disordered proteins that form amyloid fibrils are hard to target with traditional therapeutic approaches. Here, the authors report on an oligoquinoline derivative that binds the human islet amyloid polypeptide, stabilising an alpha-heli

SummaryIslet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a hormone cosecreted with insulin. IAPP proceeds through a series of conformational changes from random coil to β-sheet via transient α-helical intermediates. An unknown subset of these events are associat

Homomeric self-assembly of peptides into amyloid fibers is a feature of many diseases. A central role has been suggested for the lateral fiber surface affecting gains of toxic function. To investigate this, a protein scaffold that presents a discrete

Three families of membrane-active peptides are commonly found in nature and are classified according to their initial apparent activity. Antimicrobial peptides are ancient components of the innate immune system and typically act by disruption of micr

Disordered proteins, such as those central to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, are particularly intractable for structure-targeted therapeutic design. Here we demonstrate the capacity of a synthetic foldamer to capture structure in a disease relevant pep

Aromatic interactions are important stabilizing forces in proteins but are difficult to detect in the absence of high-resolution structures. Ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy is used to probe the vibrational signatures of aromatic interactions

Laboratory experiments that focus on protein folding provide excellent opportunities for undergraduate students to learn important topics in the expanding interdisciplinary field of biophysics. Here, we describe the use of Stern−Volmer plots to det

Refolding curves of the integral membrane protein outer membrane protein A (OmpA) were measured to determine the conformational stabilities of this model system for membrane protein folding. Wild-type OmpA exhibits a free energy of unfolding (DeltaG

Raman spectroscopy is a form of vibrational spectroscopy based on inelastic scattering of light. In resonance Raman spectroscopy, the wavelength of the incident light falls within an absorption band of a chromophore, and this overlap of excitation an

Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a peptide hormone whose pathological self-assembly is a hallmark of the progression of type II diabetes. IAPP–membrane interactions catalyze its higher-order self-assembly and also underlie its toxic effects towa
