Discovered in the early 1980s in spedes of the genus Trididemnum harvested in the Caribbean during the Alpha Hehx" expedition, the didemnins are a group of strongly antiviral and cytotoxic depsipeptides didemnin B is the first molecule of marine origin that has entered Phase II... 

The secondary protein structure refers to certain short-range periodic or repeating patterns often foimd along protein chains. Secondary structure is maintained by interactions between amino acids that are fairly close together in the linear sequence of the protein chain or adjacent to each other on neighboring chains. The most common of these patterns is called the alpha (a)-helix, shown in Figure 19.9. hi the a-hehx structure, the amino acid chain is wrapped into a tight coil in which the side chains extend outward from the coil. The structure is...
