We have investigated the polarized IR spectra of the hydrogen bond system in crystals of trans-styrylacetic acid C(6)H(5)CHCHCH(2)COOH, and also in crystals of the following three deuterium isotopomers of the compound: C(6)H(5)CHCHCH(2)COOD, C(6)H(5)CHCHCD(2)COOH and C(6)H(5)CHCHCD(2)COOD. The spectra were measured at

Human adrenomedullin (hAM) is an endogenous peptide that has potent vasodilator activity. Mature AM is biosynthesized from its intermediate form, glycine-extended AM (AM-gly), by carboxy-terminal amidation. AM-gly is generally considered to be biologically inactive but is a major molecular form

The bifunctional enzyme peptidylglycine-alpha-amidating monooxygenase mediates the conversion of C-terminal glycine-extended peptides to their active alpha-amidated products. Peptidylglycine-alpha-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM, EC 1.14.17. 3) catalyzes the first reaction in this two-step process. The olefinic compound 4-phenyl-3-butenoic acid (PBA) is the most
