Thermal behavior of synthetic sphingomyelin-cholesterol dispersions.

abstract：:A positional-scanning combinatorial protocol was employed to optimize the deoxyribose-based cleavage of B-form DNA by Ni(II) x Xaa-Xaa-His metallopeptides. This procedure employed 18 naturally occurring amino acids (excluding Cys and Trp) to generate two libraries in which the first and second positions of the peptide...
