The crystal structure of Ac-DeltaVal-NMe(2) (DeltaVal = alpha,beta-dehydrovaline) was determined by X-ray crystallography. The found angles phi = -60 degrees and psi = 125 degrees correspond exactly to the respective values of the (i + 1)th residue in idealised beta-turn II/VIa. Ab initio/DFT studies revealed that the molecule adopts the angle psi restricted only to about |130 degrees | and very readily attains the angle phi = about -50 degrees. This is in line with its solid-state conformation. Taken together, these data suggest that the DeltaVal residue combined with a C-terminal tertiary amide is a good candidate at the (i + 1)th position in a type II/VIa beta-turn.

Physical Accessibility

Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the type species os the genus orbivirus in the family Reoviridae. The virus has a fibrillar outer coat containing two major structural proteins VP2 and VP5 which surround an icosahedral core. The core contains two major proteins VP3 and VP7 and three minor proteins VP1, VP4 and VP6. Recent evidence has indicated that the core comprises a neucleoprotein center which is surrounded by two protein layers; VP7, a major constituent of capsomeres comprises the outer and VP3 the inner layer of the core . Antibodies to VP7 are currently used in enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays and immuno-electron microscopical (JEM) tests for the detection of BTV. The tests involve the antibody recognition of VP7 on virus particles. In an attempt to understand how complete viruses can interact with antibodies to VP7 various antibody types and methodologies were utilized to determine the physical accessibility of the core to the external environment.

Temperature Dependences

Conformational mobility of tetruloses, 2-pentuloses, D-3-pentulose and 4-deoxy-L-pentulose was studied by measuring temperature dependences of CD spectra in the region +40°C to -140°C in a methanol-ethanol (1:4) mixture. The changes in spectra reflect the population of rotamers around bonds to the carbonyl chromophore. The most stable conformers were determined by PCILO quantum chemical calculation.

The conformational properties of the Sarmesin analogues [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4]ANGII and [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4, Ile8]ANGII in hexadeutero-dimethysulfoxide were investigated by Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) Enhancement Studies. Cis-trans isomers (ratio 1 : 6) due to restricted rotation of the His-Pro bond were observed. Interresidue interactions between the His Cα proton and the two Pro Cδ protons revealed that the major isomer was the trans.

Lactam Ring

Contamination of waters with pharmaceuticals is an alarming problem as it may support the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, fast and cost-effective analytical methods for potential on-site analysis are desired in order to control the water quality and assure the safety of its use as a source of drinking water. Antibody-based methods, such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), can be helpful in this regard but can also have certain pitfalls in store, depending on the analyte. As shown here for the class of β-lactam antibiotics, hydrolysis of the β‑lactam ring is a key factor in the immunochemical analysis as it influences antibody recognition. With the antibody used in this study, the limit of detection (LOD) in the immunoassay could be significantly reduced by hydrolysis for the five tested penicillins, with the lowest LOD for carbenicillin (0.2 nmol/L) and the greatest impact on penicillins G and V (reduction by 85%). In addition to enhanced quantification, our strategy also provides access to information about the degree of hydrolysis in water samples as shown for the most abundant penicillin amoxicillin.

AbstractLangevin dynamics simulations are utilized to study the structure of a dendritic polyelectrolyte embedded in two component mixtures comprised of conventional (small) and bulky counterions. We vary two parameters that trigger conformational properties of the dendrimer: the reduced Bjerrum length, $$\lambda _B^*$$ λ B ∗ , which controls the strength of electrostatic interactions and the number fraction of the bulky counterions, $$f_b$$ f b , which impacts on their steric repulsion. We find that the interplay between the electrostatic and the counterion excluded volume interactions affects the swelling behavior of the molecule. As compared to its neutral counterpart, for weak electrostatic couplings the charged dendrimer exists in swollen conformations whose size remains unaffected by $$f_b$$ f b . For intermediate couplings, the absorption of counterions into the pervaded volume of the dendrimer starts to influence its conformation. Here, the swelling factor exhibits a maximum which can be shifted by increasing $$f_b$$ f b . For strong electrostatic couplings the dendrimer deswells correspondingly to $$f_b$$ f b . In this regime a spatial separation of the counterions into core–shell microstructures is observed. The core of the dendrimer cage is preferentially occupied by the conventional ions, whereas its periphery contains the bulky counterions.
