Abstract The development of eukaryote‐derived antimicrobial peptides as systemically administered drugs has proven a challenging task. Here, we report the first human oral actinomyces‐sourced defensin—actinomycesin—that shows promise for syst

In silico approaches have become indispensable for drug discovery as well as drug repositioning and adverse effect prediction. We have developed the eF-seek program to predict protein–ligand interactions based on the surface structure of proteins u

In our previous study, functional ability and conformational stability had been examined for C-terminal deletion mutants of a 148-residue Ca2+-binding protein, chicken calmodulin (CaM). In that study, we had reported that a mutant named CCMΔ5, missi

Assignment of backbone amide proton resonances is one of the most time-consuming stages of any protein NMR study when the protein samples behave non-ideally. A robust and convenient NMR procedure for analyzing spectra of marginal-to-low quality is he

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide which belongs to a glucagon/secretin superfamily, the ligand of class II G protein-coupled receptors. Knowledge for the conformation of VIP bound to membrane is important because the

Neurodegeneration correlates with Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms, but the molecular identities of pathogenic amyloid β-protein (Aβ) oligomers and their targets, leading to neurodegeneration, remain unclear. Amylospheroids (ASPD) are AD patient-d

Stomatin, a 288-residue protein, is a component of the membrane skeleton of red blood cells (RBCs), which helps to physically support the membrane and maintains its function. In RBCs, stomatin binds to the glucose transporter GLUT-1 and may regulate

Venom-derived neurotoxins are ideal probes for the investigation of structure-function relationship of ion channels and promising scaffolds for the design of ion channel-targeted drug leads as well. The discovery of highly selective toxins against a
