Natural peptides and proteins: potent tyrosinase inhibitors
Background and objectives: Tyrosinase is a copper containing oxidase which is crucial for controlling the production of melanin in creatures such as bacteria, fungi, plants and mammals. It is involved in the first two steps of melanin biosynthesis and leads to pigmentation and different types of cancer such as melanoma. Also, it is responsible for browning of fruits and vegetab...
متن کاملSelective N-terminal functionalization of native peptides and proteins.
We report an efficient, highly selective modification on the N-terminal amines of peptides and proteins using aldehyde derivatives via reductive alkylation. After modification of a library of unprotected peptides XYSKEASAL (X varies over 20 natural amino acids) by benzaldehyde at room temperature, pH 6.1 resulted in excellent N-terminal selectivity (α-amino/ε-amino: >99 : 1) and high reaction c...
متن کاملBioorthogonal Chemoenzymatic Functionalization of Calmodulin for Bioconjugation Applications.
Calmodulin (CaM) is a widely studied Ca(2+)-binding protein that is highly conserved across species and involved in many biological processes, including vesicle release, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. To facilitate biophysical studies of CaM, researchers have tagged and mutated CaM at various sites, enabling its conjugation to fluorophores, microarrays, and other reactive partners. However,...
متن کاملClinical Trial Subjects: “Panning Gold”
Anti-infective drug development depends to a great extent on enrolling the “correct” subjects in Ph II–III clinical trials – i.e., those who can show a therapeutic benefit from the anti-infective therapy. For example, while at Lederle Labs, I worked on a new indication for MINOCIN®-namely, treatment of moderate-to-severe periodontitis. MINOCIN®-reduces the numbers of the putative periodontal pa...
متن کاملSurface modification, functionalization and bioconjugation of colloidal inorganic nanoparticles.
Inorganic colloidal nanoparticles are very small, nanoscale objects with inorganic cores that are dispersed in a solvent. Depending on the material they consist of, nanoparticles can possess a number of different properties such as high electron density and strong optical absorption (e.g. metal particles, in particular Au), photoluminescence in the form of fluorescence (semiconductor quantum do...
