Non-protein amino acids in peptide design (2003)
Aravinda, S, Shamala, N, Roy, Rituparna S, Balaram, P
An overview of the use of non-protein amino acids in the design of conformationally well-defined peptides, based on work from the author’s laboratory, is discussed. The crystal structures of...

Gabapentin (1-(aminomethyl)cycloheaxaneacetic acid; Gpn) is a widely used anti-epileptic drug. The target site of action of Gpn remains controversial. Gpn can exist in two isomeric chair forms. The...
Structural Analysis of Peptide Helices Containing Centrally Positioned Lactic Acid Residues (2002)
Aravinda, S, Shamala, N, Das, Chittaranjan, Balaram, P
The effect of insertion of lactic acid (Lac) residues into peptide helices has been probed using specifically designed sequences. The crystal structures of 11-residue and 14-residue depsipeptides...
Aravinda, S, Shamala, N, Pramanik, Animesh, Das, Chittaranjan, Balaram, P
An unusual C-terminal conformation has been detected in a synthetic decapeptide designed to analyze the stereochemistry of helix termination in polypeptides. The crystal structure of the decapeptide...

Our earlier studies reported the identification of a rat testicular protein of 24 kDa with significant similarity at the N-terminus with Mu class glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Treatment of goat...
Mukherjee, S B, Aravinda, S, Gopalakrishnan, B, Nagpal, S, Salunke, D M, Shaha, C
The seminiferous tubular fluid (STF) provides the microenvironment necessary for spermatogenesis in the adluminal compartment of the seminiferous tubule (ST), primarily through secretions of the...
