Chromatographic conditions for the separation of fluorinated amino acids and oligopeptides from their non-fluorinated counterparts were explored. The separation of six pairs of analytes, including both aromatic and aliphatic fluorocarbons, was investigated at various temperatures using both hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon columns and eluents. Our results show that when hydrocarbon eluents are used, fluorocarbon column provides better separation of fluorinated amino acids or oligopeptides from their non-fluorinated counterparts; when fluorocarbon eluents are used, hydrocarbon column provides better separation of fluorinated amino acids or oligopeptides from their non-fluorinated counterparts. These chromatographic behaviors reflect the fluorophilicity possessed by fluorinated amino acids and oligopeptides.  相似文献

Summary One classical method for quantitation of amino acids in proteins is hydrolysis of the proteins and determination of the free amino acids. Although the drastic experimental conditions necessary for complete hydrolysis always cause degradation of some of the amino acids, if mild hydrolysis conditions are used, a mixture of amino acids and oligopeptides is obtained. If these conditions are adequately tuned, the oligopeptides are almost exclusively dipeptides. For this reason we have initiated a study to find a derivatizing agent suitable for the analysis of amino acids and dipeptides by an absolute method of quantitation already tested for amino acids. FMOC-Cl was found to be a suitable derivatizing agent for this purpose.  相似文献

A new fluorescent derivatizing reagent, N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-fluorescein-O-acetate, is used for the high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of amino acids and oligopeptides. This reagent has the advantages of high-detection sensitivity in the visible region, specifically with amino groups, mild derivatization conditions, and little interference induced. The fluorescence properties of the reagent and its derivatives with amino acids and oligopeptides are studied. The conditions of the derivatization are investigated in detail. In the mobile phase of methanol-water (42:58, v/v) containing a 10 mM pH 5.0 citric acid-Na2HPO4 buffer, six amino acids and oligopeptides are separated in 20 min with fluorescence detection at excitation and emission wavelengths of 492 and 513 nm, respectively, with the detection limits for injected standards ranging from 0.64 to 12 fmol.  相似文献

The recent upswing in peptide chemistry has been accompanied by an increasing interest in nonproteinogenic amino acids. These include the α,α-disubstituted glycines, the best known of which is Aib (2-aminoisobutyric acid, 2-methylalanine). These α-amino acids occur in natural oligopeptides such as the peptaibols, a class of membrane-active ionophores that has been isolated from fungal cultures. The twofold substitution at the α-C atom of the amino acids severely restricts the conformational freedom of the peptides and causes particular secondary structures to be favored; thus, α, α-disubstituted α-amino acids induce the formation of β turns or helices. 3-Amino-2H-azirines are ideal synthons for the construction of oligopeptides, cyclic peptides and depsipeptides (peptolides) containing such α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids. The presence of the ring strain in these molecules means that they can be used in peptide coupling without the need for additional activating reagents. Using 3-amino-2H-azirines a large array of heterocycles containing α, α-disubstituted α-amino acids as structural elements within their skeleton can be synthesized. The driving force in these reactions is the release of the strain on the three-membered ring, which usually takes place in a ring-expansion reaction. The mechanistic elucidation of these reactions, which can be quite complex, contains some surprises.  相似文献

Following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in an acetic/formic acid buffer, pH 2.0, in fabric reinforced gels, amino acids and oligopeptides could successfully be fixed in the gel by freeze-drying. Lyophilization of the fabric reinforced polyacrylamide gel after electrophoresis resulted in a dry film which absorbed ninhydrin solution quickly and uniformly, thus improving the detection limit for amino acids and oligopeptides with molecular weights ranging from 189-1045. Most amino acids were detected with a sensitivity of 0.1-0.25 microgram and for oligopeptides the detection limit was found to be 0.5-5 microgram.  相似文献

The reaction between α,α-dialkylated amino acids and amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides is slow leading to low concentrations of products (peptides). The detection by capillary electrophoresis of the analytes contained in such samples is therefore a challenging issue. In this work, on-line sample pre-concentration methods based on field-amplified sample stacking have been implemented and compared. Because of the high ionic strength present in the sample matrix, samples were diluted with an organic solvent prior to analysis to decrease the sample conductivity. Different modes of sample injection (field amplified sample injection (FASI), hydrodynamic normal sample stacking (NSS) or large volume sample stacking (LVSS)) were compared. Pre-concentration factors of 20 for FASI, about 30–40 for NSS and 60 for LVSS were obtained for the analysis of (l,l) dipeptide of valine in a large excess of isovaline and 0.2 M of ionic strength. For LVSS application and resolution optimisation, a new non-covalent coating based on the partial modification of the capillary surface was used to tune the electroosmotic flow magnitude and to pump the sample matrix out of the capillary. This on-line sample pre-concentration step allowed confirming that oligopeptides including α,α-dialkylated amino acids are formed during the reaction between α,α-dialkylated amino acids and N-carboxyanhydride amino acids.  相似文献

Summary 4:3-β-Naphthapyrone-4-acetic acidN-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester (NPA-OSu) is a highly sensitive and moderately reactive derivatizing reagent with a naphthapyrone moiety as fluorophore and anN-hydroxysuccinimidyl active ester as reactive group toward amino compounds. It is readily prepared in two steps. The fluorescence properties of NPA-OSu and its hydrolysis product have been studied in detail, and the conditions for derivatization and separation of the NPA-OSu derivatives of some amino acids and oligopeptides have been investigated. Atλ ex = 352 nm andλ em = 422 nm the detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio=3) for amino acids and oligopeptides reached fmol levels, for injection of 20 μL; this sensitivity was comparable with that obtained by use of 7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxylic acid succinimidyl ester as derivatizing reagent in the analysis of amino acids by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced-fluorescence detection.  相似文献

Bacterial peptidoglycan is a mesh‐like network comprised of sugars and oligopeptides. Transpeptidases cross‐link peptidoglycan oligopeptides to provide vital cell wall rigidity and structural support. It was recently discovered that the same transpeptidases catalyze the metabolic incorporation of exogenous D ‐amino acids onto bacterial cell surfaces with vast promiscuity for the side‐chain identity. It is now shown that this enzymatic promiscuity is not exclusive to side chains, but that C‐terminus variations can also be accommodated across a diverse range of bacteria. Atomic force microscopy analysis revealed that the incorporation of C‐terminus amidated D ‐amino acids onto bacterial surfaces substantially reduced the cell wall stiffness. We exploited the promiscuity of bacterial transpeptidases to develop a novel assay for profiling different bacterial species.  相似文献

A new method for determining the amino acid sequence of polypeptides consists in initial partial hydrolysis to yield a complex mixture of oligopeptides. After derivatization to enhance its volatility, the mixture is analyzed by combined gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The sequence of the polypeptide is established by a computer from the identified oligopeptides. So far polypeptides having up to 40 amino acids have been analyzed by this method. The advantages and disadvantages of the new method compared with the stepwise procedure of the Edman degradation are considered. Since the two methods are based on fundamentally different principles they may prove to be complementary.  相似文献

The first stereoselective, near-equimolar, and metal-free oxidative bioconjugation of amino acids and oligopeptides to aldehydes is presented. Based on a newly developed organocatalytic oxidative concept, the C-terminal and side-chain carboxylic acid functionalities of amino acids and oligopeptides are shown to couple in a stereoselective manner to α-branched aldehydes catalyzed by a chiral primary amine and a quinone as oxidizing agent. The oxidative coupling generally proceeds in high yield. For aspartic acid, selective coupling of the side-chain, or the C-terminal carboxylic acid, is demonstrated depending on the protection strategy. The stereoselective, oxidative bioconjugation concept is extended to a series of oligopeptides where coupling to carboxylic acid functionalities is presented. Bioorthogonal linker molecules for further functionalization are obtained by merging the oxidative coupling strategy with the click concept. It is demonstrated that the configuration of the new stereocenter is determined exclusively by the organocatalyst.  相似文献

A rapid, sensitive, and reliable ultra‐performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with photodiode array detection method was developed for the amino acid analysis of Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii Brandt). The method uses minimal sample volume and automated online precolumn derivitization of amino acids with fluorescent 6‐aminoquinolyl‐carbamyl reagent. The chromatographic separation was achieved by UPLC, which used a column with 1.7 μm particle packing that enabled higher speed of analysis, peak capacity, greater resolution, and increased sensitivity. Amino acid derivatives obtained under optimal conditions were separated on a Waters UPLC BEH C18 column with Acetonitrile–acetate buffer as mobile phase. Matrix effects were investigated and good linearities with correlation coefficients better than 0.9949 were obtained over a wide range of 5–1000 μmol/L for all amino acids. The simple sample preparation and minimal sample volume make the method useful for the quantitation of 17 amino acids in Amur sturgeon samples. It is concluded that a rapid and robust platform based on UPLC was established, and a total of 17 amino acids of Amur sturgeon were tentatively detected. This method showed good accuracy and repeatability that can be used for the quantification of amino acids in real samples.  相似文献

The natural product Gramicidin S is a promising scaffold for novel oligopeptide‐based bisphosphine ligands, combining the advantageous rigid chiral backbone with the close proximity of phosphine substituents. The required unnatural, phosphine‐containing, amino acid building blocks were synthesized by means of a novel protocol that involves the enantioselective alkylation of a chiral nickel Schiff base template. Three Ni complexes were prepared with different alkyl chains between the phosphine group and the α‐carbon atom of the incorporated glycine; the absolute stereochemistry of two of them was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. By detaching the template, enantiopure L ‐phosphine amino acids resulted enabling the solid‐phase, stepwise construction of a linear sequence of the phosphine‐modified oligopeptides. On cyclization three bisphosphine‐substituted Gramicidin S analogues resulted, differing only in the size and shape of the linkage between the phosphine groups and the oligopeptides backbone. Their crystal structures suggest these species to have potential as chelating ligands.  相似文献

A series of novel gossypol derivatives were synthesized and screened for their in vitro anti-HIV- 1I activity. The results showed that replacing the aldehyde groups of gossypol with certain oligopeptides and Dglucosamine not only reduced the cytotoxicity of gossypol derivatives but also enhanced their antiviral activity against HIV-1. Interestingly, D-glucosamine derivative of gossypol that lacked the COONa group also exhibited the same potent anti-HIV-1 activity as oligopeptide derivatives with the COONa group. These compounds blocked the entry of HIV-1ⅢB into target cell. which was similar to T20. Furthermore, the molecular docking analysis rationalized their anti-HIV-1 activity. The results also implied that certain oligopeptides and D-glucosamine were important moities to prepare gossypol derivatives as HIV- 1 entry inhibitors besides certain amino acids.  相似文献

The genetic algorithm (GA) is an intelligent approach for finding minima in a highly dimensional parametric space. However, the success of GA searches for low energy conformations of biomolecules is rather limited so far. Herein an improved GA scheme is proposed for the conformational search of oligopeptides. A systematic analysis of the backbone dihedral angles of conformations of amino acids (AAs) and dipeptides is performed. The structural information is used to design a new encoding scheme to improve the efficiency of GA search. Local geometry optimizations based on the energy calculations by the density functional theory are employed to safeguard the quality and reliability of the GA structures. The GA scheme is applied to the conformational searches of Lys, Arg, Met‐Gly, Lys‐Gly, and Phe‐Gly‐Gly representative of AAs, dipeptides, and tripeptides with complicated side chains. Comparison with the best literature results shows that the new GA method is both highly efficient and reliable by providing the most complete set of the low energy conformations. Moreover, the computational cost of the GA method increases only moderately with the complexity of the molecule. The GA scheme is valuable for the study of the conformations and properties of oligopeptides. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

A cross-reactive optical sensor array based on poly(p-phenyleneethynylene)s (PPEs) determines Edman degraded amino acids. We report a sensor array composed of three anionic PPEs P1–P3 , and their electrostatic complexes with metal ions (Fe2+, Cu2+, Co2+). We recorded distinct fluorescence intensity response patterns as “fingerprints” of this chemical tongue toward standard phenylthiohydantoin (PTH) amino acids—degradation products of the Edman process. These “fingerprints” were converted into canonical scores by linear discrimination analysis (LDA), which differentiates all of the PTH-amino acids. This array discriminates PTH-amino acid residues degraded from an oligopeptide through Edman sequencing. This approach is complementary to chromatography approaches which rely on mass spectrometry; our array offers the advantage of simplicity.  相似文献

Increasing attention has been devoted in the last decades to chiral chromatography, principally to high‐performance liquid chromatography techniques using a chiral stationary phase. Many chiral high‐performance liquid chromatography columns are commercially available, but, unfortunately, they are most often rather expensive. A cheap alternative to the commercial chiral columns is the dynamic‐coating procedure of a standard achiral stationary phase with a chiral selector containing both a chiral domain and a chain or a group able to tightly (but noncovalently) bind the achiral support. This is the case of Nτ‐decyl‐l ‐spinacine, already successfully employed to dynamically cover a reversed‐phase column to separate racemic mixtures of amino acids through the ligand‐exchange mechanism. In the present work, the same chiral selector is employed to separate racemic mixtures of amino acids and oligopeptides, in the absence of metal ions: no coordination complex is formed, but only electrostatic and weak nonbonding interactions between the chiral phase and the analytes are responsible for the observed enantioselectivity. The new method is simpler than the previous one, very effective in the case of aromatic amino acids and oligopeptides and also suitable for preparative purposes.  相似文献

Efficient methods for the dicarbofuntionalization of the cyclic alkenes 2-pyrroline and 2-azetine are limited. Particularly, the dicarbofunctionalization of endocyclic enecarbamates to achieve fluorinated compounds remains an unsolved issue. Reported here is a nickel-catalyzed trans-selective dicarbofunctionalization of N-Boc-2-pyrroline and N-Boc-2-azetine, a class of endocyclic enecarbamates previously unexplored for transition metal catalyzed dicarbofunctionalization. The reaction can be extended to six- and seven-membered endocyclic enamides. A variety of arylzinc reagents and bromodifluoroacetate, and its derivatives, undergo the reaction, providing straightforward and efficient access to an array of pyrrolidine- and azetidine-containing fluorinated amino acids and oligopeptides, which may have applications in the life sciences.  相似文献

Complexes formed with low molecular mass biomolecules are the ‘dynamic or mobile units’ of Al(III), which may be involved in the absorption and transport processes of this toxic element in organisms. This paper reviews the interactions of Al(III), from speciation and structural aspects, with biologically relevant endogenous and exogenous small biomolecules such as inorganic ligands (hydroxide, fluoride, (oligo)phosphates and silicic acid), amino acids, phosphorylated amino acids, oligopeptides, biophosphates including nucleotides, phosphonates, hydroxamates, and aromatic and aliphatic hydroxycarboxylates. The importance of time in biospeciation is demonstrated on the examples of binary and ternary systems involving Al(III) and citric acid. Examples are also given for the implications of the speciation of Al(III) with such small biomolecules in biology.  相似文献

A novel method for the preparation of oligopeptides with a PS-ammonium fluoride in the solution phase is reported. The synthesis of lipid II pentapeptide is efficiently synthesized via a PS-ammonium fluoride without chromatographic purifications. The method reported here is very convenient to synthesize a relatively large amount of oligopeptides with abundantly available Fmoc-protected amino acids in a time efficient manner.  相似文献
