CuII Cross-Linked Antiparallel Dipeptide Duplexes Using Heterofunctional Ligand-Substituted Aminoethylglycine
摘要:
Two artificial dipeptides containing both a pendant monodentate (pyridine (py)) and tridentate (terpyridine (tpy) or phenyl terpyridine (phi-tpy)) ligand on an aminoethylglycine (aeg) backbone have been synthesized. These oligopeptides are fully characterized by one and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The ligands were chosen because they coordinate Cu2+ to form [Cu(py)(tpy)](2+) complexes; when bound to the dipeptide scaffold, Cu2+ chelation cross-links the strands to form double-stranded duplex structures with an antiparallel arrangement. Using spectrophotometric titrations, we observe coordination of one Cu2+ metal per dipeptide strand. Mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, vapor pressure osmometry, and HPLC confirm that the resulting structures are the dipeptide duplex cross-linked by two metal centers.
