Biologically active LIL proteins built with minimal chemical diversity.
We have constructed 26-amino acid transmembrane proteins that specifically transform cells but consist of only two different amino acids. Most proteins are long polymers of amino acids with 20 or more chemically distinct side-chains. The artificial transmembrane proteins reported here are the simplest known proteins with specific biological activity, consisting solely of an initiating methionin...
متن کاملBiologically active peptides in milk proteins.
Bioactive peptides have been identified as digestion products of several food proteins. All the bioactive sequences are hidden in an inactive state inside the polypeptide chain of the larger protein. Milk proteins are a rich source of biologically active peptides such as exorphins (casomorphins), phosphopeptides and immunopeptides. Such peptides are released during intestinal digestion of casei...
متن کاملMicrosequenceanalysis of Biologically Active Proteins and Peptides
Despite impressive advances in techniques for sequence analysis of nucleic acids, direct sequencing of proteins will continue to be required in many areas of biological research. Traditional approaches are adequate, though still laborious,when carried out on micromole (106M) amounts of material. Recent advances employing radioisotopic and carrier methodology allow sequencing in the nanomole (l0...
متن کاملFacile Chemical Access to Biologically Active Norcantharidin Derivatives from Biomass.
Reductive amination of 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) was used to implement the transition from bio-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to pharmaceuticals. The synthesized bis(aminomethyl)furans were utilized as building blocks for the construction of new derivatives with structural cores of naturally occurring biologically active compounds. Using the one-pot procedure, which included the Diels-Alde...
متن کاملChemical synthesis of a biologically active natural tRNA with its minor bases.
The complete chemical synthesis of an E. coli tRNA(Ala) with its specific minor nucleosides, dihydrouridine, ribothymidine and pseudouridine, is reported. The method makes use of protected 2'-O-tertiobutyldimethylsilyl-ribonucleoside-3'-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N- ethyl-N- methyl)phosphoramidites. The exocyclic amino functions of the bases were protected by the phenoxyacetyl group for purines and acetyl...
