Magainins are cationic, membrane-active peptides which show broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. We have investigated the secondary structure and location of an analogue of magainin 2 in synthetic phospholipid bilayers using a combination of Fourie

1. In rat skeletal muscles (longissimus dorsi and quadriceps femoris), carnosine and anserine levels decreased 35-50% during senescence, and were 35-45% lower in hypertensive rats compared to normotensive levels. 2. In rat left ventricular cardiac mu

All known naturally occurring linear cationic peptides adopt an amphipathic alpha-helical conformation upon binding to lipids as an initial step in the induction of cell leakage. We designed an 18-residue peptide, (KIGAKI)3-NH2, that has no amphipath

Cationic peptides are a common component of many host defense systems [1]. Upon binding to the plasma membrane of target bacteria, many of these peptides can adopt a conformation that exhibits amphipathic character. The accumulation of peptides at th

The activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione reductase were not affected by in vitro incubation with the intracellular proteinase calpain, suggesting that these enzymes are not in vivo substrates of calpain. In contrast, the activ

1. 1. The activities of glycolytic, fatty acid oxidation and citric acid cycle enzymes were measured in hypertensive and ageing rat cardiac and skeletal muscles. 2. 2. Lactate dehydrogenase and β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase were significally decre

1. 1. Two fast-twitch skeletal muscles from normal and dystrophic hamsters were analysed for their calpain and calpastatin contents. 2. 2. Assays of wide-specificity calpain II showed that the activity levels in the two muscles were increased 1.5 and

1. Carnosine, anserine and L-1-methyl-histidine activated muscle calpain II assayed at 2.5 mM Ca2+. 2. At 5 microM Ca2+, none of these compounds activated calpain II sufficiently to bring its activity up to the level measured at 2.5 mM Ca2+. 3. Carno
