The Biological Activity of Selected Cyclic Dipeptides

, 1998
Cyclic dipeptides are widely used as models for larger peptides because of their simplicity and limited conformational freedom. Some cyclic dipeptides have been shown to be antiviral, antibiotic and anti-tumour. The aim of this study was to determine the

A Blood‐Derived Factor Rescues ALS: Platelet Factor 4 Activates OPTN‐Dependent Autophagy to Clear SOD1 Aggregates Independently of PINK1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Systemic platelet factor 4 (PF4) is significantly depleted in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Peripheral PF4 replenishment restores central proteostasis by driving OPTN‐dependent, PINK1‐independent selective autophagy in motor neurons. This intervention effectively clears toxic SOD1 aggregates, blunts glial activation, and preserves neuromuscular ...

Modular Access to α‐Tertiary Amines: Electrochemical Tandem Di‐Functionalization of Olefins With Ammonia Surrogates and Amino Acids

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A metal‐ and oxidant‐free electrochemical multicomponent di‐functionalization strategy that rapidly converts 1,1‐disubstituted alkenes into α‐tertiary primary amines with simultaneous installation of bio‐relevant sulfur or selenium motifs was devised for late‐stage functionalization. ABSTRACT Quaternary carbon centers, especially those bearing nitrogen,

FREQUENCY OF DIPEPTIDES AND ANTIDIPEPTIDES

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2013
Although it is reasonable to expect that the frequency of a generic dipeptide XY in proteins is the same of its counterpart YX, on the basis of an accurate statistical analysis of a large number of protein sequences, it appears that some dipeptides XY are considerably more frequent than their mirror images YX, referred to as antidipeptides.

Salt-induced hydrogels from functionalised-dipeptides

, 2013
A range of functionalised-dipeptides are shown here to form gels on addition of Ca2+ to solutions at high pH. We show that the ability to form gels correlates with the hydrophobicity of the dipeptides, which determines whether worm-like micelles are ...

BCG HSP70 Reprograms Macrophages via Central Trained Immunity to Suppress Prostate Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
BCG‐derived HSP70 (Dnak) safely induces central trained immunity via epigenetic, metabolic, and O‐GlcNAcylation reprogramming of bone marrow progenitors, driving tumor‐associated macrophages toward an M1‐like phenotype to suppress prostate cancer. ABSTRACT Trained immunity offers a promising yet clinically challenging strategy for cancer immunotherapy,

Conformational studies on cyclic dipeptides

, 1977
An analysis of 11 crystal structures of cyclic dipeptides so far reported in the literature is made, with main reference to the internal parameters of these molecules. Preferred conformations of the side chains of cyclic dipeptides with different α-amino

Design and synthesis of N-nonpolar nucleobase dipeptides: Application of the Ugi reaction for the preparation of dipeptides having fluoroarylalkyl groups appended to the nitrogen atom [PDF]

, 2001
A single-step one-pot synthesis based on the Ugi four-component condensation of previously unknown dipeptides, 2, 3, 4 and 5, having a fluoroaromatic group appended to the nitrogen atom, is described.

Rational Design of a Synthetic Galliphore for the Diagnostic Nuclear Imaging and Treatment of Bacterial Infections

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
KO‐NH2 is a synthetic metallophore that preferentially binds Ga3+ over Fe3+ and is recognized by bacterial transporters. Photocrosslinking identifies CirA and Fiu as key uptake proteins in E. coli. KO‐NH2 enables targeted imaging and treatment of E. coli soft tissue infections.
