What puts the electronic pep in peptides? A folded structure, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Electron transport, the energy-generating process inside living cells that enables photosynthesis and respiration, is enhanced in peptides with a collapsed, folded structure. Interdisciplinary researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology combined single-molecule experiments, molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanics to validate their findings.

New publication out!
We were curious what happens with the lipid membrane if proteins are inside. As a model of membrane proteins we use transmembrane peptides with neutral and positive charge. The charges turn out to be quite crucial in the peptides influence on the lipids.
publication link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113765…
All transmembrane peptides hinder mobility of lipids around. The positive charges in the peptide make this hindering a long range influence.
The membrane with the positive peptides then has heterogeneities in the lipid mobility. This hampers free rearrangement of lipids and leads to lower ability to seal ruptures. You can see below how the membrane stays fragmented after indentations with AFM (atomic force microscope), which is basically a very tiny tip that scans the surface of the membrane for images and can also push through it to test mechanical stability.
For comparison this is how it looks like with a membrane without any peptides. The mebrane seals the ruptures induced by the AFM tip and recovers its round shape. The same happens if we have a neutral, non-charged, peptide.
With this work we highlight the importance of including charges of proteins and peptides in membrane model studies.
And last but not least...
This is the very first time I am the last corresponding author of a publication. I am immensely proud on myself!

what if I reverse engineer a post that can get protein blasted into one of my peptides. yes it's cheating but consider. it would be so cool if I could pull it off
#the sequence doesnt start with a methionine tho (cause its a peptide) so idk if the protein blast blog would catch it.....#but my full protein is 306 amino acids long... thats over 900 nucleotides.... no way in hell am i making a post that long sldjdk#edit: my dumbass forgot my protein is cleaved from a larger orf anyways. it starts with a serine.#truly i will never be recognized by protein wizard 😔

In one, the two α-carbon atoms are cis to each other; in the other, they are trans to each other. The trans configuration is more favourable because, in the trans configuration, the α-carbon atoms with the bulky groups bonded to them are further from each other than they in cis configuration. Virtually all peptide bonds in naturally occurring proteins studied to date have the trans configuration.
