Are peptide treatments customized
Functionally, peptides act as signaling molecules, binding to particular receptors to influence biological pathways
These and many other early experiments that used viscometry to study protein denaturation and unfolding laid the groundwork for understanding intrinsically disordered states by showing that a rigid, compact, globular protein has a small effect on viscosity because it occupies a small hydrodynamic volume (they typically have a low intrinsic viscosity, in the range of 34 mL/g, which is independent of protein molecular mass), whereas an unfolded, flexible, or disordered protein adopts a random coil-like conformation, creating a much larger hydrodynamic volume that increases the solutions viscosity (intrinsic viscosity of unfolded proteins increases with increase in molecular mass)
As can be seen from the figure (Figure S13), we did not observe competitive kinetics but instead observed mixed kinetics, which indicated that juglone inhibition of ChaC1 was not competitive with glutathione as was initially expected
