Cyclic Dipeptides Formation From Linear Dipeptides Under Potentially Prebiotic Earth Conditions
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 Cyclic dipeptides (DKPs) are peptide precursors and chiral catalysts in the prebiotic process. This study reports proline-containing DKPs that were spontaneously obtained from linear dipeptides under an aqueous solution. Significantly, the yields of DKPs

The Synthesis of (2R)-Aziridine-2-carboxylic Acid Containing Dipeptides
Acta Chimica Slovenica, 2022 Optimized conditions for the synthesis of fully deprotected (2R)-aziridine containing dipeptides are described. Preparation of fully protected N- and C- terminal aziridine containing dipeptides was found to be straightforward and high yielding for the ...

Feedback Regulation of Cathepsin C by the Propeptide Dipeptides of Granzymes A and B
Acta Chimica Slovenica, 2019 Granzymes A and B are activated by proteolytic removal of their N-terminal dipeptides by cathepsin C (dipeptidyl-peptidase I). However, the possible physiological role of the cleaved dipeptides Glu-Lys and Gly-Glu is not yet understood.

Neighbouring residue effects on the ^(15)N chemical shifts of some aliphatic dipeptides [PDF]
, 1975 The ^(15)N chemical shifts of a number of simple aliphatic dipeptides have been determined in a aqueous solution and while the amine nitrogen shift is independent of the nature of the neighbouring residue, the peptide nitrogen shift shows a marked ...

Density Functional Studies on Secondary Amides: Role of Steric Factors in Cis/Trans Isomerization
Molecules, 2018 Cis/trans isomerization of amide bonds is a key step in a wide range of biological and synthetic processes. Occurring through C-N amide bond rotation, it also coincides with the activation of amides in enzymatic hydrolysis.

Aqueous Amino Acids and Proteins Near the Surface of Gold in Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Force Fields [PDF]
, 2014 We calculate potentials of the mean force for twenty amino acids in the vicinity of the (111) surface of gold, for several dipeptides, and for some analogs of the side chains, using molecular dynamics simulations and the umbrella sampling method.

Trends in Parasitology, 2022 The female schistosome's dependence on the male to reach sexual maturity has puzzled scientists for decades. Using various molecular techniques, Chen et al. dissect the synthesis pathway of the β-alanyl-tryptamine dipeptide (BATT), emitted by the male into its environment, which induces sexual maturation and egg-laying in the female.

The New Dipeptide TSPO Ligands: Design, Synthesis and Structure–Anxiolytic Activity Relationship
Molecules, 2020 The translocator protein (TSPO, 18 kDa) plays an important role in the synthesis of neurosteroids by promoting the transport of cholesterol from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is the rate-limiting step in neurosteroidogenesis ...
