Hypervalent Iodine: New Reagents and Functionalization of Peptides
Alkynes are found in a multitude of natural or synthetic bioactive compounds. In addition to the capacity of these chemical motifs to impact the physicochemical properties of a molecule of interest, the well-established reactivity of alkynes makes them ...
Development of methods for the synthesis of large combinatorial libraries of macrocyclic compounds
Macrocycles have raised much interest in the pharmaceutical industry due to their ability to bind challenging targets while often still being able to cross membranes to reach intracellular proteins. However, the development of macrocyclic ligands to new di ...
EPFL2023Efficient AC electrothermal flow (ACET) on-chip for enhanced immunoassays
Martinus Gijs, Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Muaz Salama Abdelmonem Draz
Biochemical reaction rates in microfluidic systems are known to be limited by the diffusional transport of reagents, leading often to lowered sensitivity and/or longer detection times in immunoassays. Several methods, including electrically powering electr ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2023Cysteine-Cysteine Cross-Conjugation of both Peptides and Proteins with a Bifunctional Hypervalent Iodine-Electrophilic Reagent
Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Abhaya Kumar Mishra
Peptide and protein bioconjugation sees ever-growing applications in the pharmaceutical sector. Novel strategies and reagents that can address the chemo- and regioselectivity issues inherent to these biomolecules, while delivering stable and functionalizab ...
Weinheim2023A method for the reliable and reproducible precipitation of phase pure high Ca/Si ratio (>1.5) synthetic calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H)
Karen Scrivener, Paul Bowen, Maya Nicole Harris, Grace Simpson
Various methods have been developed to synthesize C-S-H; however, these methods have only allowed for the successful production of pure-phase C-S-H with Ca:Si of 1.5 or less. Attempts to form higher Ca:Si ratios by these methods gives C-S-H (Ca:Si 1.5 or l ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2022Amphiphilic Iodine(III) Reagents for the Lipophilization of Peptides in Water
Jérôme Waser, Durga Prasada Rao Hari, Romain Gaëtan Tessier, Abhaya Kumar Mishra
We report the functionalization of cysteine residues with lipophilic alkynes bearing a silyl group or an alkyl chain using amphiphilic ethynylbenziodoxolone reagents (EBXs). The reactions were carried out in buffer (pH 6 to 9), without organic co-solvent o ...
2021Applying Peptide and Protein Synthesis to Study Post-translational Modifications in Epigenetics and Beyond
Epigenetics research focuses on the study of heritable gene regulatory mechanisms that do not involve changes of the DNA sequence. Such mechanisms include post-translational modifications of histone proteins that organize the genome in the nucleus into a n ...
SWISS CHEMICAL SOC2021Metal-Free Electrophilic Alkynylation of Sulfenate Anions with Ethynylbenziodoxolone Reagents
Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Franck Le Vaillant, Stephanie Grace Elizabeth Amos, Alec Gagnebin
Alkynyl sulfoxides are important building blocks with a unique reactivity in organic chemistry, but only a few reliable methods have been reported to synthesize them. A novel route to access alkynyl sulfoxides is reported herein by using ethynyl benziodoxo ...
