Purification and structure elucidation of three naturally bioactive molecules from the new terrestrial Streptomyces sp. TN17 strain [PDF]
Thirty litres of fermentation broth was extracted from the newly isolated Streptomyces sp. strain TN17 and various separation and purification steps led to the isolation of three pure bioactive compounds (1–3).

Continual reproduction of self-assembling oligotriazole peptide nanomaterials. [PDF]
Autocatalytic chemical reactions, whereby a molecule is able to catalyze its own formation from a set of precursors, mimic nature's ability to generate identical copies of relevant biomolecules, and are thought to have been crucial for the origin of life.

Explicit factorization of external coordinates in constrained Statistical Mechanics models [PDF]
If a macromolecule is described by curvilinear coordinates or rigid constraints are imposed, the equilibrium probability density that must be sampled in Monte Carlo simulations includes the determinants of different mass-metric tensors.

Synthesis of leucine-based cyclic dipeptides
3-benzyl-6-isobutylpiperazin-2,5-dione [cyclo(leucylphenylalanyl)], 3-isobutylpiperazin-2,5-dione [cyclo(-leucylglycyl)] and 3-(sec-butyl-)-6-isobutyl-piperazine-2,5-dione [cyclo(leucylisoleucine)] have been obtained by cyclization of methyl esters of tert-butyloxycarbonyl derivatives of dipeptides, for the synthesis of which both carbodiimide-promoted

Structure-Based Exploration of Cyclic Dipeptide Chitinase Inhibitors [PDF]
Family 18 chitinases play an essential role in a range of pathogens and pests. Several inhibitors are known, including the potent inhibitors argadin and allosamidin, and the structures of these in complex with chitinases have been elucidated. Recent structural analysis has revealed that CI-4 [cyclo-(L-Arg-D-Pro)] inhibits family 18 chitinases by ...

Solvent and thermal stability, and pH kinetics, of proline-specific dipeptidyl peptidase IV-like enzyme from bovine serum [PDF]
Proline-specific dipeptidyl peptidase-like (DPP IV; EC 3.4.14.5) activity in bovine serum has attracted little attention despite its ready availability and the paucity of useful proline-cleaving enzymes.

Rational and combinatorial tailoring of bioactive cyclic dipeptides [PDF]
Modified cyclic dipeptides represent a diverse family of microbial secondary metabolites. They display a broad variety of biological and pharmacological activities and have long been recognized as privileged structures with the ability to bind to a wide range of receptors.
