Utilizing Copper-Mediated Deprotection of Selenazolidine for Cyclic Peptides Synthesis
, 2019 Selenazoliline (Sez) was originally developed as a masking form of selenocysteine (Sec) for the chemical synthesis of challenging proteins. Here we utilize Sez and our recent reported copper(II)-mediated deprotection for the synthesis of cyclic peptides.

Cyclic Tau-derived peptides for stabilization of microtubules [PDF]
The cyclization of peptides is a valuable strategy for the development of binding motifs to target proteins with improved affinity. Microtubules (MTs) are important targets for therapeutics, and a variety of MT-targeted drugs and peptides have recently ...

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.
