A New Methodology for Incorporating Chiral Linkers into Stapled Peptides

Stapled peptides have arisen as a new class of chemical probe and potential therapeutic agents for modulating protein-protein interactions. Here, we report the first two-component i,i+7 stapling methodology that makes use of two orthogonal, on-resin stapling reactions to incorporate linkers bearing a chiral centre into a p53-derived stapled peptide. Post-stapling modifications to the chain were...

More recently, public participation in these CBA processes has become an important issue for governments. However, CBA by itself does not provide a good environment for public participation. The major reasons for this are the lack of spatial disaggregation in CBA res...
