Byrne A, Williams D, Barua B, Hagen S, Kier B, Andersen N
Biochemistry . 2014 Sep; 53(38):6011-21. PMID: 25184759
Using alternate measures of fold stability for a wide variety of Trp-cage mutants has raised the possibility that prior dynamics T-jump measures may not be reporting on complete cage formation...

Kier B, Andersen N
J Pept Sci . 2014 Jun; 20(9):704-15. PMID: 24909552
An extensive series of covalently linked small molecule-peptide adducts based on a terminally capped-beta hairpin motif is reported. The constructs can be prepared by standard solid-phase Fmoc chemistry with one...

Reback M, Buchko G, Kier B, Ginovska-Pangovska B, Xiong Y, Lense S, et al.
Chemistry . 2014 Jan; 20(6):1510-4. PMID: 24443316
Catalytic, peptide-containing metal complexes with a well-defined peptide structure have the potential to enhance molecular catalysts through an enzyme-like outer coordination sphere. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of...

Byrne A, Kier B, Williams D, Scian M, Andersen N
RSC Adv . 2013 Dec; 2013(43). PMID: 24376912
The Trp-cage, at 20 residues in length, is generally acknowledged as the smallest fully protein-like folding motif. Linking the termini by a two-residue unit and excising one residue affords circularly...

Kier B, Anderson J, Andersen N
J Am Chem Soc . 2013 Dec; 136(2):741-9. PMID: 24350581
A hyperstable Pin1 WW domain has been circularly permuted via excision of the fold-nucleating turn; it still folds to form the native three-strand sheet and hydrophobic core features. Multiprobe folding...

Shu I, Scian M, Stewart J, Kier B, Andersen N
J Biomol NMR . 2013 Jul; 56(4):313-29. PMID: 23851979
The present studies have shown that (13)C=O, (13)C(α) and (13)C(β) of H-bonded strand residues in β-hairpins provide additional probes for quantitating the extent of folding in β-hairpins and other β-sheet...

McMillan A, Kier B, Shu I, Byrne A, Andersen N, Parson W
J Phys Chem B . 2013 Jan; 117(6):1790-809. PMID: 23330783
The quantum yield of tryptophan (Trp) fluorescence was measured in 30 designed miniproteins (17 β-hairpins and 13 Trp-cage peptides), each containing a single Trp residue. Measurements were made in D(2)O...

Shu I, Stewart J, Scian M, Kier B, Andersen N
J Am Chem Soc . 2011 Jan; 133(5):1196-9. PMID: 21214243
The (13)C chemical shifts measured for designed β-hairpins indicate that the structuring shifts (upfield for Cα and C', downfield for Cβ) previously reported as diagnostic for β-structuring in proteins appear...

Kier B, Shu I, Eidenschink L, Andersen N
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2010 May; 107(23):10466-71. PMID: 20484672
Although much has been learned about the design of models of beta-sheets during the last decade, modest fold stabilities in water and terminal fraying remain a feature of most beta-hairpin...
