Engineered peptide macrocycles can inhibit matrix metalloproteinases with high selectivity

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong, Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs, Jeremy Touati, Michal Sabisz, Alice Baumann

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc‐dependent endopeptidases at the intersection of health and disease due to their involvement in processes such as tissue repair and immunity as well as cancer and inflammation. Because of the high structural conserv ...

Development of cyclic peptide inhibitors of coagulation factor XII and matrix metalloproteinase 2

Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs

Peptides represent a promising molecular class for drug development. They combine several strengths of small molecules (e.g. efficient tissue diffusion, low immunogenicity and access to chemical synthesis) and key properties of biologics such as monoclonal ...

Large, heterometallic coordination cages based on ditopic metallo-ligands with 3-pyridyl donor groups

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Philip Pattison, Euro Solari, Matthew David Wise

Ditopic N-donor ligands with terminal 4-pyridyl groups are omnipresent in coordination-based self-assembly. The utilization of ligands with 3-pyridyl donor groups is significantly less common, because the intrinsic conformational flexibility of these ligan ...

Molecularly Engineered Self-Assembling Membranes for Cell-Mediated Degradation

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Daniela Sofia Dias Ferreira, Yi-An Lin

The use of peptide engineering to develop self-assembling membranes that are responsive to cellular enzyme activities is reported. The membranes are obtained by combining hyaluronan (HA) and a rationally designed peptide amphiphile (PA) containing a proteo ...

Role for MMP-9 in stress-induced downregulation of nectin-3 in hippocampal CA1 and associated behavioural alterations

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Michael van der Kooij, Martina Fantin, Céline Fournier

Chronic stress is a risk factor for the development of psychopathologies characterized by cognitive dysfunction and deregulated social behaviours. Emerging evidence suggests a role for cell adhesion molecules, including nectin-3, in the mechanisms that un ...

Enhanced proteolytic degradation of molecularly engineered PEG hydrogels in response to MMP-1 and MMP-2

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Jennifer Patterson

Bioactive hydrogels formed by Michael-type addition reactions of end-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) macromers with cysteine-containing peptides have been described as extracellular matrix mimetics and tissue engineering scaffolds. Although these mate ...

Acetonitrile exchange kinetics on di- and trivalent lanthanide ions

Gabriella Eva Bodizs

The knowledge and understanding of the mechanism as well as the rate constant of the solvent exchange reactions are fundamental, since these reactions represent an important step in complex formation reactions on metal ions. Solvent exchange reactions in a ...

Inhibition of bovine nasal cartilage degradation by selective matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors

Ursula Röthlisberger

N-terminal analysis of aggrecan fragments lost from bovine nasal cartilage cultured in the presence of recombinant human interleukin 1alpha revealed a predominant ARGSVIL sequence with an additional ADLEX sequence. Production of the ARGSVIL-containing frag ...
