Selective Targeting of SH2 Domain–Phosphotyrosine Interactions of Src Family Tyrosine Kinases with Monobodies

Florence Pojer, Oliver Hantschel, Nadine Eliane Schmit, Tim Kükenshöner

The binding of Src-homology 2 (SH2) domains to phosphotyrosine (pY) sites is critical for the autoinhibition and substrate recognition of the eight Src family kinases (SFKs). The high sequence conservation of the 120 human SH2 domains poses a significant c ...

Total Syntheses of (−)-Mersicarpine, (−)-Scholarisine G, (+)-Melodinine E, (−)-Leuconoxine, (−)-Leuconolam, (−)-Leuconodine A, (+)-Leuconodine F, and (−)-Leuconodine C: Self-Induced Diastereomeric Anisochronism (SIDA) Phenomenon for Scholarisine G and Leuconodines A and C

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Zhengren Xu

Enantioselective total syntheses of title natural products from a common cyclohexenone derivative (S)-18 were reported. Ozonolysis of (S)-18 afforded a stable diketo ester (R)-17 that was subsequently converted to two skeletally different natural products, ...

Identification of Soft Matter Binding Peptide Ligands Using Phage Display

Harm-Anton Klok

Phage display is a powerful tool for the selection of highly affine, short peptide ligands. While originally primarily used for the identification of ligands to proteins, the scope of this technique has significantly expanded over the past two decades. Pha ...

Elucidating the role of C-terminal post-translational modifications using protein semisynthesis strategies: α-synuclein phosphorylation at tyrosine 125

Hilal Lashuel, Michel Prudent, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Mirva Hejjaoui, Filip Vercruysse, Yao Zhang

Despite increasing evidence that supports the role of different post-translational modifications (PTMs) in modulating α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation and toxicity, relatively little is known about the functional consequences of each modification and whethe ...

Novel organometallic ruthenium complexes for selective activation in tumour cells

Anna Katherine Renfrew

In recent years, ruthenium-based antitumour drugs have emerged as an attractive alternative to cisplatin, exhibiting both excellent activity in tumours where cisplatin is of limited use and low general toxicity, leading to reduced side effects. Two rutheni ...

Dissymmetrical Double-Chain Elongation Approach to the Asymmetric Synthesis of Long-Chain Polypropionates

Claudia Jana Exner

Polyketides show interesting biological activities and therefore represent an important class of natural products. The necessity of their diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis led to the development of numerous methodologies. A brief overview of this t ...
