Is the synthesis of rumen bacterial protein limited by the availability of pre-formed amino acids and/or peptides?
In previous studies on platyhelminths, the effects of peptide modulators of the neuromuscular system have been examined on muscle strips or dispersed muscle fibres.
Therefore, it probably only metabolizes the released peptide.
However, the short peptides did not encompass any sequence characteristic for functional domains of cysteine proteases.
It is believed that the peptides competitively inhibit the intermediate filament molecules for binding sites which facilitate filament formation and\or stability.
Cellular uptake of an alpha-helical amphipathic model peptide with the potential to deliver polar compounds into the cell interior non-endocytically.
Identification of regions involved in the binding of alpha-bungarotoxin to the human alpha7 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor using synthetic peptides.
Above a threshold concentration, the peptide disrupts the lipid packing, which leads to the internalization of the peptide.
