Peptides from the N-heptad repeat region of the HIV gp41 protein can inhibit viral fusion, but their potency is limited by a low tendency to form a trimeric coiled-coil. Accordingly, stabilization of ...
The amino acid sequence of parallel left-handed coiled-coils shows a characteristic seven-residue periodicity with apolar residues in the first and fourth position. The resulting hydrophobic stripe ...
Hv1/VSOP is a dimeric voltage-gated H + channel in which the gating of one subunit is reportedly coupled to that of the other subunit within the dimer. The molecular basis for dimer formation and ...
