One aspect of the invention relates to hexafluoroleucine and congeners thereof, and methods of making the compounds. Another aspect of the nvention relates to the synthesis of protein cores comprising hexafluoroleucine and congeners thereof. Certain peptides comprising hexafluorleucine and congeners thereof have been characterized using comparative biophysical studies. In general, the fluorinated peptides show higher thermal stability and enhanced resistance to chemical denaturation. Further, mixed hydrocarbonfluorocarbon cores self-sort into homogeneous bundles, suggesting new avenues for the design and manipulation of protein-protein interfaces.
这项发明的一个方面涉及六氟亮氨酸及其同系物,以及制备这些化合物的方法。该发明的另一个方面涉及合成包含六氟亮氨酸及其同系物的蛋白质核心。通过比较生物物理学研究,已经表征了包含六氟亮氨酸及其同系物的某些肽。一般来说,氟化肽表现出更高的热稳定性和增强的抗化学变性能力。此外,混合的烃氟烃核心自我分类为均匀的束状结构,为蛋白质-蛋白质界面的设计和操纵提供了新途径。
