Polyarginines are well known for their ability to enhance cell penetration.

This alkyne-functionalized cysteine building block can be incorporated into peptides via the Fmoc strategy.

One role of proline in proteins is that a β-turn of a peptide chain is being induced at its position. Two major conformations, cis or trans, of the corresponding amid bond will induce that the protein folds in a specific way.

The Fmoc group is the most frequently used protecting group in peptide chemistry. The most common deprotection conditions involve a solution of 20% piperidine in DMF.

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.

a) Catalyst-free Click Reaction Cycloaddition reactions such as the [3+2] azide-alkyne and the [4+2] Diels-Alder reaction, are becoming common conjugation techniques. Applications range from imaging, drug design and development of sensors, thereby spanning the fields of chemical biology, material science, surface and polymer chemistry as well as many other fields. Introduced in 2002, the copper-catalyzed variant of the azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction has found broad applicability in t...

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.

As Boc and Fmoc protected derivatives of both azido and alkyne amino acids are available, they can be introduced into peptide sequences through standard SPPS protocols, for example. In an α-helical secondary structure amino acids at positions i and i+4 are above each other.

The azido group can be reduced to an amino function and hereby serve as masked amino group. It is of particular use if additional orthogonalities are needed. Azido is stable towards treatment with piperidine (Fmoc deprotection), Pd(0) (Alloc removal) and acidic treatmet (cleavage of Mtt, Trt or other acid sensitive groups). However, as it is a pseudohalogenide, care has to be taken during coupling steps, as HATU will cause high racemization. This can be avoided using collidine or other non-nucleophilic bas...

PGA (Penicillin G Amidase, Penicillin Acylase, Penicillin Amidohydrolase from E.coli on acrylic resin, Systematic name: Penicillin amidohydrolase, E.C. 3.5.1.11) has an active pocket, which is very specific for phenyl acetic acid. The prominent commercial use is hydrolysis of a phenylacetamid bond during production of the penicillin API 6-APA (De Martin et al., J. Mol. Catal. B:Enzymatic 1999; 6: 437). The high specifity of PGA towards the Phenylacetyl moiety makes the use of Phacm as new alternative ...

Dendrimers offer a new possibility to derivatize small molecules, surfaces or biopharmaceuticals with a monodisperse macromolecule and alter in this way properties like solubility and hydrophilicity. Immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics of pharmaceuticals will be improved. The synthetic approach for designing these dendrons of different generations is based on 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid, which is a non-toxic and biocompatible building block. The size can be designed from 250 g/mole for 1st gene...

Ulf Hanefeld, Lucia Gardossi and Edmond Magner Chem. Soc. Rev. 2009; 38 :453–468; https://doi.org/10.1039/b711564b   Abstract:Enzymes are versatile catalysts in the laboratory and on an industrial scale. To broaden their applicability in the laboratory and to ensure their (re)use in manufacturing the stability of enzymes can often require improvement. Immobilisation can address the issue of enzymatic instability. Immobilisation can also help to enable the employment of enzymes in differe...

Abstract: In 2006 the market of modern biopharmaceuticals has reached a volume of over 3 billion in USA and over billion world wide (IMS Health, Inc.).

Abstract: A considerable number of biologically active naturally occurring products are peptides, depsipeptides, and peptide conjugates.

Quaedflieg Tetrahedron Asymmetry: 2006; 17 : 245–251 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tetasy.2005.12.023     Abstract: We have demonstrated for the first time that D-glutamine (D-Gln) and D-glutamic acid (D-Glu) can be efficiently obtained in high ee (97% and 90%, respectively) by enzymatic kinetic resolution of D,L-Gln and D,L-Glu. This was achieved by enantioselective conversion of...

Peptides are key to modern drug discovery. This article reviews the requirements for bulk production of peptides and how it affects research and production of smaller scales.

Mercapto acids were attached through their thiol group onto 2-chlorotrityl (Clt)-, trityl (Trt)-, 4-methyltrityl (Mtt)-, 4-methoxytrityl (Mmt)-, and 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl (Dmt)-resins.
