Covalent modification of platelet proteins by palmitate [PDF]
Abstract Covalent attachment of fatty acid to proteins plays an important role in association of certain proteins with hydrophobic membrane structures. In platelets, the structure of many membrane glycoproteins (GPs) has been examined in detail, but the question of fatty acid acylation of platelet proteins has not been addressed. In this

End-group functionalization of poly(2-oxazoline)s using methyl bromoacetate as initiator followed by direct amidation [PDF]
Poly(2-alkyl/aryl-2-oxazoline)s (PAOx) are an alluring class of polymers for many applications due to the broad chemical diversity that is accessible for these polymers by simply changing the initiator, terminating agent and the monomer(s) used in their ...

Weighing the Proteasome for Covalent Modifications
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) control protein function, but established peptide-based proteomic methods often fail to provide a comprehensive view of PTMs. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Gersch et al. describe an efficient combination of chromatographic separation and top-down mass spectrometry that together with an intuitive ...

Covalent Modifications of the Ebola Virus Glycoprotein [PDF]
ABSTRACT The role of covalent modifications of the Ebola virus glycoprotein (GP) and the significance of the sequence identity between filovirus and avian retrovirus GPs were investigated through biochemical and functional analyses of mutant GPs.

Metabolites Regulate Cell Signaling and Growth via Covalent Modification of Proteins.
Metabolites affect cell growth in two different ways. First, they serve as building blocks for biomass accumulation. Second, metabolites regulate the activity of growth-relevant signaling pathways.

Quantitative Irreversible Tethering (qIT) for Target-directed Covalent Fragment Screening
Small molecules that react to form covalent bonds with proteins are widely used as biological tools and therapeutic agents. Screening cysteine-reactive fragments against a protein target is an efficient way to identify chemical starting points for ...

Post-assembly modification of kinetically metastable Fe(II)2L3 triple helicates. [PDF]
We report the covalent post-assembly modification of kinetically metastable amine-bearing Fe(II)2L3 triple helicates via acylation and azidation. Covalent modification of the metastable helicates prevented their reorganization to the thermodynamically ...
