Selenopeptide Transamidation and Metathesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Selenopeptides can be transamidated by cysteinyl peptides in water using mild conditions (pH 5.5, 37 °C) in the presence of an arylthiol catalyst. Similar conditions also catalyze the metathesis of selenopeptides. The usefulness of the selenophosphine derived from TCEP (TCEP═Se) for inhibiting the TCEP-induced deselenization of selenocysteine residue is also reported.

Discovery and mechanistic study of Al(III)-catalyzed transamidation of tertiary amides.
Cleavage of the C-N bond of carboxamides generally requires harsh conditions. This study reveals that tris(amido)Al(III) catalysts, such as Al2(NMe2)6, promote facile equilibrium-controlled transamidation of tertiary carboxamides with secondary amines. The mechanism of these reactions was investigated by kinetic, spectroscopic, and density functional theory (DFT) computational methods. The cata...
متن کاملTransglutaminase-catalyzed transamidation: a novel mechanism for Rac1 activation by 5-hydroxytryptamine2A receptor stimulation.
Transglutaminase (TGase)-induced activation of small G proteins via 5-hydroxytryptamine (HT)(2A) receptor signaling leads to platelet aggregation (Cell 115:851-862, 2003). We hypothesize that stimulation of 5-HT(2A) receptors in neurons activates TGase, resulting in transamidation of serotonin to a small G protein, Rac1, thereby constitutively activating Rac1. Using immunoprecipitation and immu...
متن کاملNickel-catalyzed transamidation of aliphatic amide derivatives.
Transamidation, or the conversion of one amide to another, is a long-standing challenge in organic synthesis. Although notable progress has been made in the transamidation of primary amides, the transamidation of secondary amides has remained underdeveloped, especially when considering aliphatic substrates. Herein, we report a two-step approach to achieve the transamidation of secondary aliphat...

Theoretical assessment of the protonation reaction in the activation of propene on hydroxylated Mo(VI) and W(VI) metathesis catalysts is presented in this paper using the density functional theory calculations and five support clusters varying from simple SiO4H3 clusters to a large Si4O13H9 cluster. The bond distances and thermochemical...
متن کاملAbrogation of Immunogenic Properties of Gliadin Peptides through Transamidation by Microbial Transglutaminase Is Acyl-Acceptor Dependent
Wheat gluten confers superior baking quality to wheat based products but elicits a pro-inflammatory immune response in patients with celiac disease. Transamidation of gluten by microbial transglutaminase (mTG) and tissue transglutaminase (tTG) reduces the immunogenicity of gluten; however, little information is available on the minimal modification sufficient to eliminate gliadin immunogenicity...
