COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR SYNTHETIC AMPHIPHILE-INDUCED CHANGES IN PLANT ROOT MORPHOLOGY
-
Paragraph 0123, (2016/04/04)
The disclosure provides a method for increasing the lateral root development of a plant by exposing said plant to a composition containing a synthetic amphiphile. By increasing the number of lateral roots, the surface area of the root structure is increased, making the plants better able to survive such stresses as drought or low nutrients
Cation dependence of chloride ion complexation by open-chained receptor molecules in chloroform solution

Seventeen peptides, most having the sequence GGGPGGG, but differing in the C- and N-terminal ends, have been studied as anion-complexing agents. These relatively simple, open-chained peptide systems interact with both chloride and the associated cation. Changes in the N- and C-terminal side chains appear to make little difference in the efficacy of binding. NMR studies suggest that the primary interactions involve amide NH contacts with the chloride anion, and CD spectral analyses suggest a concomitant conformational change upon binding. Changes in binding constants, which are expected in different solvents, also suggest selective solvent interactions with the unbound host that helps to preorganize the open-chained peptide system. Significant differences are apparent in complexation strengths when the heptapeptide chain is shortened or lengthened or when the relative position of proline within the heptapeptide is varied.
Anchor chain length alters the apparent mechanism of chloride channel function in SCMTR derivatives

Two membrane-anchored heptapeptides have been prepared and their pore-formation behavior in phospholipid bilayer membranes has been found to differ profoundly as a result only of alkyl chain length.
