Ligand binding shifted the loop connecting the β3 and β4 strands by approximately 5–7 Å towards the peptide hormone. Phe72 in that loop shifted in the ligand bound structure by 7.2 Å and ...

The metals had subtle effects on the structure of C-peptide, notably on its ability to curl into a helix in some conditions. Copper and chromium prevented cells from taking up the hormone, but other ...

Peptides are biomolecules formed when two or more amino acids that perform key functions in the human organism, such as hormones ... acquires an amyloidal structure, which favors aggregation ...

A new study of peptide hormones critical for plant development ... up new areas of research to study the specificity of function/structure in the CLE peptide signalling system in plants.
