Recognition of mandelate stereoisomers by chiral porphyrin hosts: prediction of stereopreference in guest binding a priori using a simple binding model?

Rigid porphyrin hosts that mimic the spatial arrangement of mandelate recognition motifs lead to stereoselective receptors and illustrate how subtle structural differences in host design have significant impact on guest recognition. The porphyrin hosts are obtained with minimal synthetic effort from readily available chiral amine precursors and are modular in design. The chiral recognition properties of the porphyrin-based hosts with chiral carboxylate-containing guests and chiral amines are described. UV/vis and ¹H NMR spectroscopic results indicate some of these porphyrin hosts undergo an induced fit conformational change upon guest binding.

Recognizing chromatographic peaks with pattern recognition methods III. Application of the algorithm for peak recognition in trace analysis

Summary The application of a newly developed peak recognition algorithm is shown. This algorith is based on the KNN method, one of the pattern recognition methods. It is shown that peaks with a S/N-ratio down to one can be safely recognized. This is also possible if the baseline has not only detector noise, but has other disturbances, e.g., noise signals which are generated by a reaction detector. The recognition ability of the algorithm is demonstrated by a standard chromatogram with three different concentrations and with two different sampling rates. The improvement against the classical algorithm is demonstrated. Some properties of the algorithm are discussed.

Synthesis of Glycopeptides,Partial Structures of Biological Recognition Components [New Synthetic Methods (67)]

Glycopeptides are partial structures of the connecting regions of glycoproteins and, like these, always contain glycosidic bonds between the carbohydrate and peptide parts. Glycoproteins are not only widely distributed but are also decisive factors in post-translational biological selectivity, especially in biological recognition. Targeted syntheses of glycopeptides require stereoselective formation of the glycosidic bonds between the carbohydrate and the peptide parts and protective group methods that enable selective deblocking of only one functional group in these polyfunctional molecules. These heavy demands have been met by the well-established use of benzylic protective groups, which can be removed by hydrogenolysis, combined with the use of base-labile 2-phosphonioethoxycarbonyl (Peoc) or 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protective groups or of bromoethyl esters, which can be removed under neutral conditions. The acidolysis of tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) groups and of tert-butyl esters has also been successfully used, although, under acidic conditions, anomerization or rupture of the glycosidic bonds may occur, especially when nucleophiles are present. The stable, two-stage 2-(pyridyl)ethoxycarbonyl (Pyoc) protective groups allow a more reliable synthesis of complex glycopeptides since they can be removed, after modifications, under mild conditions. Particularly suitable for the synthesis of sensitive glycopeptides are the stable allyl protective groups. They can be removed from the complex glycopeptides in a highly selective and effective manner by means of noble-metal catalysts under practically neutral conditions. These methods have been employed to synthesize glycopeptides corresponding to partial structures of interesting glycoproteins. Deprotected glyopeptides representing tumor-associated antigen structures can be coupled to bovine serum albumin, which serves as a biological carrier molecule, without the necessity of using an artificial coupling component (spacer).     

Pattern-based peptide recognition

Nature's use of sensor arrays in the mammalian olfactory and gustatory systems has encouraged supramolecular chemists to take a new approach to molecular recognition. Pattern-based recognition involves the use of sensor arrays to create fingerprints for analytes. The use of sensing arrays has paved the way for systems capable of identifying biological analytes that would have been difficult targets using the traditional "lock-and-key" approach to sensor design.     

Cell-specific internalization study of an aptamer from whole cell selection

Nucleic acid aptamers have been shown many unique applications as excellent probes in molecular recognition. However, few examples are reported which show that aptamers can be internalized inside living cells for aptamer functional studies and for targeted intracellular delivery. This is mainly due to the limited number of aptamers available for cell-specific recognition, and the lack of research on their extra- and intracellular functions. One of the major difficulties in aptamers' in vivo application is that most of aptamers, unlike small molecules, cannot be directly taken up by cells without external assistance. In this work, we have studied a newly developed and cell-specific DNA aptamer, sgc8. This aptamer has been selected through a novel cell selection process (cell-SELEX), in which whole intact cells are used as targets while another related cell line is used as a negative control. The cell-SELEX enables generation of multiple aptamers for molecular recognition of the target cells and has significant advantages in discovering cell surface binding molecules for the selected aptamers. We have studied the cellular internalization of one of the selected aptamers. Our results show that sgc8 is internalized efficiently and specifically to the lymphoblastic leukemia cells. The internalized sgc8 aptamers are located inside the endosome. Comparison studies are done with the antibody for the binding protein of sgc8, PTK7 (Human protein tyrosine kinase-7) on cell surface. We also studied the internalization kinetics of both the aptamer and the antibody for the same protein on the living cell surface. We have further evaluated the effects of sgc8 on cell viability, and no cytotoxicity is observed. This study indicates that sgc8 is a promising agent for cell-type specific intracellular delivery.

Recognition of Chiral Carboxylates by Synthetic Receptors

Recognition of anionic species plays a fundamental role in many essential chemical, biological, and environmental processes. Numerous monographs and review papers on molecular recognition of anions by synthetic receptors reflect the continuing and growing interest in this area of supramolecular chemistry. However, despite the enormous progress made over the last 20 years in the design of these molecules, the design of receptors for chiral anions is much less developed. Chiral recognition is one of the most subtle types of selectivity, and it requires very precise spatial organization of the receptor framework. At the same time, this phenomenon commonly occurs in many processes present in nature, often being their fundamental step. For these reasons, research directed toward understanding the chiral anion recognition phenomenon may lead to the identification of structural patterns that enable increasingly efficient receptor design. In this review, we present the recent progress made in the area of synthetic receptors for biologically relevant chiral carboxylates.     

An efficient sensor for relay recognition of Zn and Cu through fluorescence ‘off–on–off’ functionality

A new bis(8-carboxamidoquinoline) dangled binaphthol derivatized fluorescent sensor (L) was designed and synthesized. L behaves ratiometric response to Zn²⁺ with high selectivity accompanied by remarkable emission enhancement and red shift. The resultant L–Zn²⁺ complex can act as a Cu²⁺ sensing probe with fluorescence quenching behavior through direct Zn²⁺ ion replacement. Furthermore, the binding modes of Zn²⁺ and Cu²⁺ with L are elucidated by X-ray crystallographic analysis, respectively.
