چکیده

Gas-phase complexes [La(peptide)](3+) containing 2-4 amino-acid residues have been investigated by electrospraying solutions containing La(3+) and the peptide; only complexes in which the peptide contained an arginine residue were observed. Using the coordination number of eight for La(3+) [Shi, T.; Hopkinson, A. C.; Siu, K. W. M. Chem. Eur. J. 2007, 13, 1142-1151] and the relative abundances of the hydrates [La(peptide)(H(2)O)(n)](3+), the number of binding sites provided by the peptides was deduced: Leu-Trp-Met-Arg, 7; Met-Arg-Phe-Ala, 6; Gly-Arg-Gly, 4; Gly-Gly-Arg 4; and Met-Arg, 4. Density Functional Theory calculations show that the zwitterionic form of Gly-Gly-Arg preferentially binds La(3+) through four coordination sites-the two amide oxygens and the two carboxy oxygens.

Designing a new tetrapeptide to inhibit the BIR3 domain of the XIAP protein via molecular dynamics simulations

The XIAP protein is a member of apoptosis proteins family. The XIAP protein plays a central role in the inhibition of apoptosis and consists of three Baculoviral IAP Repeat domains. The BIR3 domain binds directly to the N-terminal of caspase-9 and therefore it inhibits apoptosis. N-terminal tetrapeptide region of SMAC protein can bind to BIR3, inhibit it and subsequently induce apoptosis. In th...

Comparison of chelating ability of dipeptide (histidine-β-alanine) and (tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin) (TPPS4) for in vitro removal of toxic metals

Peptides are one of the best candidates for drug development due to their high specificity and low toxicity and porphyrins are significant macromolecules in biological systems with important roles. In this works ynthesis of dipeptide (histidine-β-alanine) was done by solid-phase peptide synthesis method (SPPS) and tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS4) was synthesized by Adler method. The...

Synthesis and Determination of Partition Coefficients of Zinc Complexes with Clinical Potential application

Zinc sulphate is currently used for treatment of zinc deficiency. Its uptake by the body is poor, necessitating the administration of high doses. This leads to a range of unpleasant side effects. In order to increase the bioavailability of zinc, several zinc complexes have been designed and synthesized using bidentate ligands of hydroxypyranones and hydroxypyridinones. Elemental analysis in eac...
