Peptide Synthesis> | … and crystallization of L- and D-enantiomers of the InaZ-derived peptide GSTSTA The l-enantiomer of GSTSTA was purchased from GenScript with 98% purity. The d-enantiomer of GSTSTA was synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis and was purified using a Waters … | Get A Quote |
The ice-nucleation protein InaZ from contains a large number of degenerate repeats that span more than a quarter of its sequence and include the segment GSTSTA. structures of this repeat segment, resolved to 1.1 Å by microfocus X-ray crystallography and to 0.9 Å by the cryo-EM method MicroED, were determined from both racemic and homochiral crystals. The benefits of racemic protein crystals for structure determination by MicroED were evaluated and it was confirmed that the phase restriction introduced by crystal centrosymmetry increases the number of successful trials during the phasing of the electron diffraction data. Both homochiral and racemic GSTSTA form amyloid-like protofibrils with labile... More
