Sur les relations entre structure polypeptidique et activité Strépogénique. 1. Peptides de la cystine
摘要:
AbstractThe authors propose for the characterization of strepogenic substances of known composition the specific activity, i. e. the number of WOOLLEY units per μmole.Starting from L‐leucyl‐L‐cystinyl‐L‐leucyl‐L‐valyl‐L‐glutamic acid (of very high strepogenine activity, 400 WOOLLEY units per mg, 230 WOOLLEY units per μmole) seven peptides have been synthesized by suppression and/or replacement of amino acid residues. A study of the relation between activity and structure of these peptides shows that:
In this group cystine is an indispensable element for activity.This amino acid must either be linked on each side to leucine residues or linked by its carboxyles to leucine, its amino groups being free.From these results, the conception emerges that the strepogenine polypeptides may be characterized by an amino acid (in this group of peptides, cystine) which must be linked to particular amino acid residues. If this conception is correct, there should exist several types of strepogenines depending on the nature of the amino acid essential for their activity.

A novel aldehyde dual-linker system has been developed for the solidphasesynthesis of sterically hindered amides. The linker [5-(4-formyl-3-hydroxyphenoxy)pentanoic acid] exploits an intramolecular oxygen−nitrogen acyl transfer mechanism to prepare compounds that are unattainable with current commercially available linkers. A dual linker system, exploiting the hyper-acid labile Sieber amide linker
