Development of a hypersensitive periodate-cleavable amino acid that is methionine- and disulfide-compatible and its application in MHC exchange reagents for T cell Characterisation [PDF]
Incorporation of cleavable linkers into peptides and proteins is of particular value in the study of biological processes. Here we describe the synthesis of a cleavable linker that is hypersensitive to oxidative cleavage as the result of the periodate ...

Realizing Serine/Threonine Ligation: Scope and Limitations and Mechanistic Implication Thereof
Serine/Threonine ligation (STL) has emerged as an alternative tool for protein chemical synthesis, bioconjugations as well as macrocyclization of peptides of various sizes. Owning to the high abundance of Ser/Thr residues in natural peptides and proteins,

γ effects identify preferentially populated rotamers of CH2F groups: side-chain conformations of fluorinated valine analogues in a protein [PDF]
Using cell-free protein synthesis, the protein G B1 domain (GB1) was prepared with uniform high-level substitution of valine by (2S,3S)-4-fluorovaline, (2S,3R)-4-fluorovaline or 4,4'-difluorovaline.

Peptide synthesis by recombinant Fasciola hepatica cathepsin L1 [PDF]
Synthesis of the tripeptide Z-Phe-Arg-SerNH2 has been accomplished by a recombinant cysteine protease, cathepsin L1 from liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica), using Z-Phe-Arg-OMe as acyl acceptor and SerNH2 as nucleophile in 0.1 M ammonium acetate pH 9.0–12.5%

The Peptide Synthesis. II. Use of the Phenol Resin for the Peptide Synthesis [PDF]
Abstract The phenol resin is useful as support of the solid phase peptide synthesis. Its use is particularly advantageous for the synthesis of the N-protected peptide fragments, and those which have the intramolecular disulfide bond, such as oxytocin.
