Design of Fuel‐Dependent, Complex‐Coacervate‐Based Synthetic Cells

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Fuel‐dependent synthetic cells form and persist only in the presence of chemical fuel, decaying under starvation. We establish design rules for hexapeptide‐based coacervates, showing that tryptophan enhances polyanion binding, extends lifetime, and reduces waste sensitivity.

Homo‐/Heterodimeric Substrates Bias the Type and Multiplicity of Hydroxamic Acid Chelators Assembled by a NIS Synthetase DesD

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Chemoenzymatic reactions using the siderophore synthetase DesD from Salinispora tropica and hydroxamic acid substrates (native, non‐native) with different multiplicities (monomer, dimer) and components (homo‐/heterodimer) followed different reaction trajectories, which biased the architectures of the chelator major products and indicated DesD contains ...

Synthesis of Some 3-Aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles Carrying a Protected L-Alanine Side Chain

Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 1998
The synthesis of some 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives (4a-d) starting from arylamidoximes 1a-d and N-t-butoxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-aspartic acid is described. The structures of these new products have been determined by spectroscopic methods.

Late‐Stage Modification of Halotryptophan‐Containing Peptides Via Negishi Cross‐Coupling

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Negishi cross‐coupling provides access to the late‐stage functionalization of bromotryptophan‐containing peptides under comparatively mild conditions and is applicable to a range of peptide substrates in the investigated model systems. The examined alkyl iodides and variation of N‐terminal residues demonstrate the feasibility of the transformation in a

De Novo Design of Multivalent α/β‐Peptides Mimicking Transcription Factors Targeting the CBP KIX Domain

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A modular, de novo α/β‐peptide design strategy allows fine‐tuning of ligand properties, resulting in multivalent ligands that simultaneously target separate binding sites on the protein surface. ABSTRACT Protein‐protein interactions that regulate gene expression in the nucleus are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutic targets but present ...

Hybrid Macrocyclic Peptides — Synthetic Strategies to Diversify and Cyclize Peptide Libraries in Phage Display Selections

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Hybrid macrocyclic peptides unite genetically encoded peptide libraries with the structural complexity of synthetic small molecules. This Review critically analyzes phage‐compatible cyclization and diversification chemistries, highlights emerging opportunities beyond traditional cysteine‐based approaches, and outlines how future advances may enable the

Free amino acids in the nervous system of the amphioxus Branchiostoma lanceolatum. A comparative study

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2006
The cephalochordate amphioxus is the closest invertebrate relative to vertebrates. In this study, using HPLC technique, free L-amino acids (L-AAs) and D-aspartic acid (D-Asp) have been detected in the nervous system of the amphioxus Branchiostoma ...

Influence of Head‐to‐Tail Cyclization of Lanmodulin‐Inspired Peptides on Lanthanide Affinity and Structure

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The influence of head‐to‐tail cyclization, as well as the effect of ring expansion with an additional glycine on lanmodulin‐inspired peptides on the structure and lanthanide (Ln)‐binding behavior was investigated. While the decrease of structural flexibility can indeed increase the Ln affinity and peptide pre‐organization, it does not lead to an ...

Amino Acid Modified Polymer Mesh for Removal of the Heavy Metal Ions Pb2+, Hg2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+ From Aqueous Solutions

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Adsorbents for cations of copper, lead, mercury, and nickel are obtained via grafting polymer mesh with an acrylic acid copolymer and subsequent functionalization with an amino acid. A distinct influence of the type of amino acid on the adsorption occurs.
