High-Density Immobilization of TCEP on Silica Beads for Efficient Disulfide Reduction and Thiol Alkylation in Peptides

Tris-(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) linked to agarose beads is widely used for reducing disulfide bridges in proteins and peptides. The immobilization of TCEP on beads allows efficient removal after reduction to prevent its reaction with alkylating reage ...

TiCl3-Mediated Reductive Cyclization of Tetrasubstituted Alkenes and Enol Esters Bearing a 2-Nitrophenyl Substituent

Dina Boyarskaya

Indole is one of the most important heterocycles widely present in bioactive natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials. Being easily accessible, the 2-nitrostyrenes are attractive starting materials for the indole synthesis and the Cad ...

Amphiphilic 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 ...

Identification of Isomeric Lipids by UV Spectroscopy of Noncovalent Complexes with Aromatic Molecules

Oleg Boyarkine, Ruslan Yamaletdinov

The tremendous structural and isomeric diversity of lipids enables a wide range of their functions in nature but makes the identification of these biomolecules challenging. We distinguish and quantify isomeric lipids using cold ion UV fragmentation spectro ...

Towards the Sarpagine-Ajmaline-Macroline Family of Indole Alkaloids: Enantioselective Synthesis of an N-Demethyl Alstolactone Diastereomer

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Dylan Jean Robert Dagoneau

the strategy involving the use of functionalized tetrahydro-6H-cycloocta[b]indol-6-one is reported as a key intermediate for synthesis of members of the sarpagine-ajmaline-macroline family of monoterpene indole alkaloids. The desired tricycle was synthesiz ...

Increased electromechanical sensitivity of polysiloxane elastomers by chemical modification with thioacetic groups

Yee Song Ko

Chemically cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers have gained importance as a dielectric in elastic capacitor actuators, which elongate when electrically charged. Common PDMS elastomers have a dielectric permittivity of only about 3 and thus e ...

Application of Hypervalent Iodine Reagents for Novel Cysteine Labeling

Romain Gaëtan Tessier

Selective functionalization of peptides and proteins has always been a valuable tool for the study and manipulation of biological processes. In this context, cysteines are of particular interest. Their intrinsic high nucleophilicity makes these amino acids ...

Fluorophores for Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer by an Yttrium Triflate Catalyzed Reaction of Isocyanides with Thiocarboxylic Acids

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Shuo Tong, Shun Zhao, Qing He

Discovery of new chemical reactivity of a given functional group can often result in innovative synthesis of important chemical entities that possess unprecedented properties. We designed and developed a one-step synthesis of 5-amino-4-carboxamidothiazoles ...

Novel systems biology approaches for design and analysis of palmitoylation networks reveal its regulatory effects on protein stability, activity and localization

Tiziano Dallavilla

Communication and environment sensing are fundamental for the regulation of the majority of the cellular functions. In cells there are dedicated networks that are responsible for signalling, which gives the ability to the cell of sensing the external and i ...

Mild synthesis of mercaptonitriles from vinyl nitriles and their cyclization reactions

Frank Nüesch, Antonia Neels

Thiol-ene addition of thioacetic acid A is widely used in the synthesis of thiols from vinyl precursors, but so far has not been conducted on non-conjugated vinyl nitriles. The challenge when vinyl nitriles are used is to selectively conduct the thiol-ene ...
