| Abstract | Integrin αvβ6 is an important emerging target for both imaging and therapy of cancer that requires specific ligands based on Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides. There remains little correlation between integrin-RGD ligand specificity despite studies suggesting an RGD-turn-helix ligand motif is required. Here, we describe the application of 15N NMR relaxation analyses and structure determination of αvβ6 peptide ligands in the presence and absence of trifluoroethanol (TFE) to identify their critical molecular nature that influences specificity, interaction and function. Two linear peptides; one known to demonstrate αvβ6 specificity (FMDV2) and the other based on a natural RGD ligand (LAP2), were compared to two additional peptides based on FMDV2 but cyclised in different positions using a disulphide bond (DBD1 and DBD2). The cyclic adaptation in DBD1 produces a significant alteration in backbone dynamic properties when compared to FMDV2; a potential driver for the loss in αvβ6 specificity by DBD1. The importance of ligand dynamics are highlighted through a comprehensive reduced spectral density and ModelFree analysis of peptide 15N NMR relaxation data and suggest αvβ6 specificity requires the formation of a structurally rigid helix preceded by a RGD motif exhibiting slow internal motion. Additional observations include the effect of TFE/water viscosity on global NMR dynamics and the advantages of using spectral density NMR relaxation data to estimate correlation times and motional time regimes for peptides in solution. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
