Aggregation propensity of amyloidogenic and elastomeric dipeptides constituents
摘要:
This study demonstrates the self-assembly of N- and C-terminal protected dipeptides Phe-Gly and Pro-Gly which were derived from amyloidogenic and elastomeric peptide sequences. These constituents afforded nanostructured supramolecular ensembles through various non-covalent interactions in the solid state which can be directly correlated with their fibrillation event in solution phase. Interestingly microscopic observations revealed that the amyloidogenic dipeptide constituents assembled into hollow tubular structures whereas the elastomeric dipeptide constituents assembled into the feather or sheet like structures.

guanidine-containing peptides as multifunctional ligands for transition-metal catalysis and its application in the remote desymmetrization of diarylmethanes via copper-catalyzed Ullman cross-coupling. Through design of these peptides, high levels of enantioinduction and good isolated yields were achieved in the long-range asymmetriccross-coupling (up to 93:7 er and 76% yield) between aryl bromides and malonates
我们报道了一类新型含胍肽作为过渡金属催化多功能配体的开发及其在通过铜催化乌尔曼交叉偶联二芳基甲烷远程去对称化中的应用。通过这些肽的设计,芳基溴和丙二酸之间的长程不对称交叉偶联(高达 93:7 er 和 76% 产率)实现了高水平的对映诱导和良好的分离产率。我们的机制研究表明,远端立体控制是通过肽的路易斯碱性C端羧酸酯与底物的远端芳烃之间的Cs桥相互作用来实现的。
3-Triphenylphosphonio-2,5-piperazinediones as new chiral glycine cation equivalents
3-Triphenylphosphonio-2,5-piperazinediones were effectively synthesized from homochiral valine or proline via Boc-Val-Gly-OMe, Boc-Pro-Gly-OMe or Cbz-Pro-Gly-OMe. Retention of configuration of the primary stereogenic center of the valine and proline moieties was observed. Diastereoselective nucleophilic substitution of the triphenylphosphonium group in 2,5-piperazinediones with S-, N-, P- and C-nucleophiles was observed. The configuration of the substitution products was assigned either by their hydrolysis and decarboxylation or based on the analysis of the H-C(3)-N-H coupling constants of 3-substituted-2,5-piperazinediones derived from proline. The trans-stereoselectivity was predominant in reactions of 3-triphenylphosphonio-1,6-trimethylene-2,5-piperazinediones with the nucleophiles investigated. The stereodifferentiating ability of the proline moiety is much stronger than that of the valine unit and allowed nucleophilic alpha-functionalization of the glycine moiety with good to excellent diastereoselectivity.

Bioinspired modular synthesis of elastin-mimic polymers (EMPs) is achieved via Cu-catalyzed alkyne-azide cyclization (CuAAC). By changing the module, EMPs with different secondary structures determined by circular dichroism (CD) spectra in trifluoroethanol (TFE) solution are obtained. The EMPs are characterized by measuring the lower critical solution temperatures (LSCTs) and the bulk mechanic properties under the conditions of both dry and hydrated forms. The unique molecular design enables us to probe mechanistic questions and assess the structure-property relationship of the EMPs. Our results indicate that, instead of a highly organized secondary structure, hydrophobic hydration is critical for the elasticity of EMPs.
