Mass Spectrometric Deconvolution of Libraries of Natural Peptide Toxins
(2018-03-24)This thesis deals with the analysis of natural peptide libraries using mass spectrometry. In the course of the study, both ribosomal and non-ribosomal classes of peptides have been investigated. Microheterogeneity, ... -
Precursor Conotoxin Sequences From Conus Achatinus And Conus Monile
(2009-06-01)The numerous toxic peptides, called conotoxins (Olivera et al 1990, 1991), that marine cone snails produce and use for capturing prey, deterring predators and presumably for other biotic interactions, are known to target ... -
Solution NMR Studies Of Peptide Toxins From Cone Snails And Scorpion
(2010-09-13)Major constituents of the venom of various animals are peptidogenic in nature. Marine snails belonging to the species Conus are venomous predators that use small, structurally constrained peptides present in their venom ... -
Solution Structures and Dynamics of Conotoxins and Small MutS Related Domain from Helicobacter Pylori MutS2
(2018-06-08)The work presented in this thesis describes the determination of structures of peptides and proteins at atomic resolution. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used as the principal method of investigation. ...
