Dutch Peptide Symposium 2017

This meeting intends to cover the various aspects of peptide-, protein chemistry as well as drug discovery and development, pharmacology, and structure-activity relationships.

The meeting will take place on 08th June 2017 in Auditorium TU/e, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Mercapto-PEG-Acids for Bioconjugation

Mercapto-PEG-Acids are highly hydrophilic, non-antigenic, non-immunogenic and non-toxic.

1st Generation Click Chemistry

Azido and alkyne functions can cyclise by an intramolecular CuI or Cu0 catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC). This so-called Click Reaction, developed by K. Barry Sharpless and Morton Meldal, has meanwhile grown to a widely used type of reaction orthogonal to many other types of reactions in different kinds of applications.

2nd Generation Click Chemistry

Recombinant Incorporation of Amino Acids into Proteins

Mutant or modified aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (aaRS) have been used to charge non-natural amino acids to the corresponding tRNA, which incorporates them into polypeptides or proteins during recombinant synthesis.
