چکیده
Redox active peptides are generated through selenoester mediated native chemical ligation (NCL). Distinct nanostructures, such as nanotubes to nanofibrillar architectures, were observed for self-assembling soft materials.

One-step refolding and purification of disulfide-containing proteins with a C-terminal MESNA thioester
BACKGROUND Expression systems based on self-cleavable intein domains allow the generation of recombinant proteins with a C-terminal thioester. This uniquely reactive C-terminus can be used in native chemical ligation reactions to introduce synthetic groups or to immobilize proteins on surfaces and nanoparticles. Unfortunately, common refolding procedures for recombinant proteins that contain di...
متن کاملPeptide self-assembly driven by oxo-ester mediated native chemical ligation.
We use the oxo-ester mediated native chemical ligation (NCL) reaction to generate a peptide self-assembly process to make supramolecular nanofibers and self-supporting gels.
متن کاملGeneral Chemoselective and Redox-Responsive Ligation and Release Strategy
We report a switchable redox click and cleave reaction strategy for conjugating and releasing a range of molecules on demand. This chemoselective redox-responsive ligation (CRRL) and release strategy is based on a redox switchable oxime linkage that is controlled by mild chemical or electrochemical redox signals and can be performed at physiological conditions without the use of a catalyst. Bot...
متن کاملProtein synthesis by native chemical ligation: expanded scope by using straightforward methodology.
The total chemical synthesis of proteins has great potential for increasing our understanding of the molecular basis of protein function. The introduction of native chemical ligation techniques to join unprotected peptides next to a cysteine residue has greatly facilitated the synthesis of proteins of moderate size. Here, we describe a straightforward methodology that has enabled us to rapidly ...
متن کاملProtein Assembly Using the Staudinger Ligation
Introduction New methods are facilitating the total chemical synthesis of proteins. In particular, the chemical ligation of synthetic peptides provides a convergent route to proteins. Currently, the most common ligation method is “native chemical ligation” [1]. In native chemical ligation, the thiolate of an N-terminal cysteine residue of one peptide attacks the C-terminal thioester of a second...
