Synthesis, Conformation And Vibrational Dynamics Of The Peptide -Ser-Cys-Lys-Leu-Asp-Phe-, A Fragment Of Apolipoprotein B

The collective normal modes of the hexapeptide -Ser-Cs-Lys-Leu-Asp-Phe-, a fragment of apolipoprotein B (apo B), have been obtained. They reflect the dynamic nature and are at least partly responsible far energy input in autolytic activity. Further, an energetic considerations based an the measurements reported by Sim & Sim, it has been shown that of the two such figments only one induces autolysis, while the other remains anchored to the coated pit.
