U.S.-Hungary Cooperative Research: Conformational Analysis of Biologically Active Peptides and Proteins in Solution and Gas Phases

这个美国-匈牙利亚利桑那大学的维克托赫鲁比和德布勒森大学的Katalin Kover之间的研究项目以生物活性肽功能的研究为特色。 具体而言，构象和动力学的寡肽，肽模拟物，蛋白质和肽蛋白复合物在溶液和气相中将使用多维NMR，串联质谱和理论方法进行检查。研究人员打算研究三维结构和分子动力学在肽和蛋白质生物活性中的作用，目的是更好地了解合成寡肽，蛋白质和肽-蛋白质复合物的行为。 如果成功的话，结果可能产生新的信息，导致肽模拟物化合物的定义，是潜在的有用的试剂或在药物development.This生物物理学研究项目实现了该计划的目标，促进科学知识，使专家在美国和中欧联合收割机互补的人才和共享研究资源的强烈的共同利益和竞争力的领域。

This U.S.-Hungary research project between Victor Hruby of the University of Arizona and Katalin Kover of the University of Debrecen features the study of bioactive peptide function. Specifically, conformations and dynamics of oligopeptides, peptide mimetics, proteins and peptide protein complexes in both the solution and gas phases will be examined using multi-dimensional NMR, tandem mass spectrometry and theoretical methods. The researchers intend to examine the role of three-dimensional structures and molecular dynamics in the biological activity of peptides and proteins with the goal of better understanding the behavior of synthetic oligopeptides, proteins and peptide-protein complexes. If successful, results may yield new information leading to the definition of peptidomimetic compounds that are potentially useful as reagents or in drug development.This biophysics research project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United States and Central Europe to combine complementary talents and share research resources inn areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
