Nucleic acid sequence analogues, in particular tRNA analogues comprising in the place of a 3'-terminal adenosine a 3'-terminal 2'-deoxy-2'-thioadenosine are able to react site-specifically with weakly activated amino acid derivatives (e.g. phenylthioesters ...
An amino or thiol linker building block for the synthesis of amino or thiol functionalized amino acids and generally of the following structure: Formula XII is provided. Such building block may be introduced in the 5' end position of an amino acid under st ...
16-Membered meta,para-cyclophanes mimicking the vancomycin binding pocket (D-O-E ring) are designed and synthesized. The structural features of these biaryl ether contg. macrocycles are: (a) the deletion of the carboxyl group of vancomycin's central amino ...
alpha -Isocyano-beta -phenylpropionamide is synthesized from the corresponding amino acid in excellent yield. The unique reactivity of this bifunctional compd. is exploited for the development of novel multicomponent synthesis of 5-aminooxazole, pyrrolo[3, ...
The invention relates to human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) mutants showing, when compared to the wild type human AGT, two or more advantageous properties selected from (a) reduced DNA interaction; (b) localization of the expressed protein i ...

Fibrinogen fusion proteins, methods of making, and methods of using fibrinogen fusion proteins are described. In a preferred embodiment the fibrinogen fusion protein contains a truncated Aa chain of fibrinogen. The Aa chain contains truncation site, which ...
A new method for the covalent and specific labeling of fusion proteins of carrier proteins (CPs) with small organic molecules has been developed in this work. This technology combines the convenience of expressing genetically tagged reporter proteins with ...
The present work describes synthetic concepts for the coupling of peptides to polyphenylene dendrimers (PPDs). Novel functionalized cyclopentadienones have been synthesized whose Diels-Alder cycloaddition with various core molecules leads to polyphenylene ...
The complex secondary metabolite anachelin, isolated from the freshwater cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica, is believed to act as siderophore, facilitating iron uptake. Its structure is characterized by a fascinating blend of polyketide, peptide, and alka ...
This contribution describes the synthesis of polyphenylene dendrimers that are functionalized with up to 16 lysine residues or substituted with short peptide sequences composed of 5 lysine or glutamic acid repeats and a C- or N-terminal cysteine residue. P ...
