Abstract excerpt
Previous studies of isolated peptides corresponding to the wild-type signal sequence of the LamB protein of Escherichia coli and to several export-impaired mutants demonstrated that a high tendency to adopt an alpha-helical conformation in low dielectric environments was a property of functional sequences. We have now used nuclear magnetic resonance to establish further characteristics of the helical conformation...
