An organometallic 4d transition metal complex [CpRhCl2]2, together with commercially available dyes, was used to construct indicator displacement assays (IDAs) for the detection of peptides, amino acids, and nucleotides. The combination of the CpRh compl ...
This study presents a new method, Köhler Theory Analysis (KTA), to infer the molar volume and solubility of organic aerosol constituents. The method is based on measurements of surface tension, chemical composition, and CCN activity coupled with Köhler the ...
We present mechanistic studies aimed at improving the understanding of the product ion formation rules in electron capture dissociation (ECD) of peptides and proteins in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. In particular, we attempt ...
The covalent attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to therapeutically active proteins (PEGylation) has become an important method to deal with the pharmacological difficulties of these polypeptides, such as short body-residence times and immunogenicity ...
Asym. synthesis of lemonomycinone amide was accomplished from readily accessible starting materials. Enantioselective alkylation of N-(diphenylmethylene)glycine tert-Bu ester by 5-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2,4-dimethoxy-3-methylbenzyl bromide in the prese ...
Glycodendrimers, such as glycoclusters and glycopolymers, are known to be very useful molecules to probe carbohydrate-lectin interactions. Herein, new second generation glycopeptide dendrimers (G2a-f) presenting a L-lysin-based (Lys) tetraantennary scaffol ...
Microcystins (MCs) are toxic heptapeptides found in cyanobacteria and share the common structure cyclo(-D-Ala1-L- X2-D-isoMeAsp3-L-Z4-Adda5-D-isoGlu6-Mdha7). The letters X and Z in the general formula above represent a wide range of L-amino acids that occu ...
Improving the binding affinity and/or stability of peptide ligands often requires testing of large numbers of variants to identify beneficial mutations. Herein we propose a type of mutation that promises a high success rate. In a bicyclic peptide inhibitor ...
Our investigation of the phenylalanine/serine (Phe/Ser) protonated dimer suggests that the intermolecular interaction between the two amino acids is more complex than could have been anticipated from previous studies of similar systems. Isomer-specific inf ...
The invention relates to a system for detecting the presence of a convertase cleaving activity, the system comprising a molecule comprising a proteolytic cleavage site with the amino acid sequence -R-X1-X2-R-, wherein R represents the amino acid arginine, ...
