    • Effect of gamma radiation on the structural and biological properties of Angiotensin II 

      Nardi, Daniela Teves [UNIFESP]; Casare, Murilo S.; Teixeira, Luis G. D. [UNIFESP]; Nascimento, Nanci; Nakaie, Clovis Ryuichi [UNIFESP] (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2008-01-01)
      Purpose: the vasoactive octapeptide hormone angiotensin II (DRVYIHPF, AngII) was selected as the target of this2investigation, which was aimed at determining the effect of gamma radiation on peptide structure and biological ...

    • Gamma Ray Irradiation of the Vasoactive Peptide Bradykinin Reveals a Residue- and Position-Dependent Structural Modification 

      Nardi, Daniela T. [UNIFESP]; Rosa, Jose C.; Jubilut, Guita N. [UNIFESP]; Miranda, Antonio [UNIFESP]; Nascimento, Nanci; Nakaie, Clovis R. [UNIFESP] (Springer, 2010-06-01)
      In this work the effect of radical species generated by gamma ray irradiation of aqueous solution upon structure of vasoactive peptide bradykinin (BK, RPPGFSPFR) was investigated. Increasing doses of 1-15 kGy Co-60 gamma ...

    • The interaction of an antiparasitic peptide active against African Sleeping Sickness with cell membrane models
