Abstract excerpt
The structure of a chemically synthesized 25-residue-long functional signal peptide of Escherichia coli ribose binding protein was compared with that of a nonfunctional mutant-signal peptide using circular dichroism and two-dimensional 1H NMR in solvents mimicking the amphiphilic environments. The functional peptide forms an 18-residue-long alpha-helix starting from the NH2-terminal region and reaching to the...
