Division of Medicinal and Natural Products Chemistry, Department of Chemistry and Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Iowa, USA; 2Department of Autoimmunology, Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark Synthetic peptides based on amino-acid residues 27–38 of human serum amyloid P component represent a novel type of heparin binders as they do not contain clusters of basic amino acids or other known features associated with protein or peptide heparin binding.

The envelope protein gp64 of the baculovirusAutographa californicanuclear polyhedrosis virus is essential for viral entry into insect cells, as the glycoprotein bothmediates pH-dependentmembrane fusionandbinds tohost cell receptors. Surface modification of baculovirus particles by genetic engineering of gp64 has been demonstrated by various strategies and thus has become an important and powerful tool in molecular biology.

We show a simple and reliable method of tRNA aminoacylation with natural, as well as non-natural, amino acids at high pressure. Such specific and noncognate tRNAs can be used as valuable substrates for protein engineering. Aminoacylation yield at high pressure depends on the chem-ical nature of the amino acid used and it is up to 10%.

Background: To be useful for genetic display of foreign peptides a viral coat protein must tolerate peptide insertions without major disruption of subunit folding and capsid assembly. The folding of the coat protein of RNA phage MS2 does not normally tolerate insertions in its AB-loop, but an engineered single-chain dimer readily accepts them as long as they are restricted to one of its two halves.
