Tryptophan‐Selective Chemical Modification of Peptides by Thioether‐Mediated Sulfenylation

ChemistryEurope
Chemical modification of biomolecules such as peptides and proteins is an important technology for the development of new functional molecules. Herein, a thioether‐mediated sulfenylation for tryptophan (Trp)‐selective chemical modification under mild ...

Multi‐Targeting Non‐Specific Genome Engineering in Bacteria

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
In this study, we provide the first case to use the multi‐targeting integrase (MTI) systems in bacteria and develop a host‐independent generalizable approach, MNGE (Multi‐targeting Non‐specific Genome Engineering), for multi‐copy and random integration of metabolic genes or pathways in both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, which will ...

Cyclic Peptide Conformational Landscapes Through the Lens of Mass Spectrometry and Orthogonal Spectroscopy

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 61, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cyclic peptides occupy a structurally dynamic region of chemical space, where function often arises from ensembles rather than a single dominant fold. Closed backbones, frequent N‐methylation, heteroatoms, unnatural amino acids, and a strong propensity for metal coordination create dense conformational and coordination landscapes that ...

Synthesis of a Carbon‐Linked Acyldepsipeptide Derivative

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 15, 22 April 2026.
The synthesis of a methylene‐linked acyldepsipeptide (ADEP) is reported. Success relied upon an improve method to generate a versatile vinyl glycine methyl ester synthon and a rationally optimized Grubb’s metathesis. NMR and in silico studies revealed an unusual trans–trans proline orientation for this new unnatural ADEP analog, advancing the ...

Prebiotic Organic Chemistry of Diketopiperazines

Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
Diketopiperazines (DKPs) are considered essential in many life forms, but their prebiotic importance has not been fully understood. This review aims to discuss prebiotic organic chemistry for experimentally and computationally simulated reactions involving DKPs. ABSTRACT Even though the significance of amino acids and polypeptides is well recognized in

Synthesis of Peptides, Peptide Nucleic Acid Components, and Other Biogenic Compounds From a Three‐Component Prebiotic Mixture

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 9, 2 March 2026.
High‐energy proton irradiation of a formamide–diaminomaleonitrile–glycine system in the presence of meteorites produces a broad spectrum of biogenic compounds, including nucleobases, nucleosides, peptides, and nucleobase–peptide conjugates, highlighting a chemically plausible prebiotic network.
