Abstract excerpt
Peptides based on the skeletal muscle DHPR II-III loop have been shown to regulate ryanodine receptor channel activity. The N-terminal region of this cytoplasmic loop is predicted to adopt an alpha-helical conformation. We have selected a peptide sequence of 26 residues (Ala(667)-Asp(692)) as the minimum sequence to emulate the helical propensity of the corresponding protein sequence. The interaction of this...
