The solution conformation of a 21-residue vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1) in water-ethylene glycol has been determined by two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopy and constrained molecular dynamics simulations. The N-terminus (residues 1-4) appears to undergo conformational averaging and no single structure consistent with the NMR constraints could be found for this region. Residues 5-8 form a turn, and residues 9-16 exist in a helical conformation. A flexible 'hinge' between residues 8-9 allows various orientations of the turn relative to the helix. Another 'hinge' at residue 17 connects the extended C-terminus to the bicyclic core region (residues 1-15). Residues important for binding and biological activity form a contiguous surface on one side of the helix, with the two disulfides extending from the other side of the helix.

D005026 Ethylene Glycols An ethylene compound with two hydroxy groups (-OH) located on adjacent carbons. They are viscous and colorless liquids. Some are used as anesthetics or hypnotics. However, the class is best known for their use as a coolant or antifreeze. Dihydroxyethanes,Ethanediols,Glycols, Ethylene
D006859 Hydrogen The first chemical element in the periodic table with atomic symbol H, and atomic number 1. Protium (atomic weight 1) is by far the most common hydrogen isotope. Hydrogen also exists as the stable isotope DEUTERIUM (atomic weight 2) and the radioactive isotope TRITIUM (atomic weight 3). Hydrogen forms into a diatomic molecule at room temperature and appears as a highly flammable colorless and odorless gas. Protium,Hydrogen-1
D016232 Endothelins 21-Amino-acid peptides produced by vascular endothelial cells and functioning as potent vasoconstrictors. The endothelin family consists of three members, ENDOTHELIN-1; ENDOTHELIN-2; and ENDOTHELIN-3. All three peptides contain 21 amino acids, but vary in amino acid composition. The three peptides produce vasoconstrictor and pressor responses in various parts of the body. However, the quantitative profiles of the pharmacological activities are considerably different among the three isopeptides.

D019855 Ethylene Glycol A colorless, odorless, viscous dihydroxy alcohol. It has a sweet taste, but is poisonous if ingested. Ethylene glycol is the most important glycol commercially available and is manufactured on a large scale in the United States. It is used as an antifreeze and coolant, in hydraulic fluids, and in the manufacture of low-freezing dynamites and resins. 1,2-Ethanediol,2-Hydroxyethanol,Monoethylene Glycol,1,2 Ethanediol,2 Hydroxyethanol,Glycol, Ethylene,Glycol, Monoethylene
