Solid phase peptide synthesis utilizing 9‐fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl amino acids Tập 35 Số 3 - Trang 161-214 - 1990
Gregg Fields, Richard L. Noble
9‐Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) amino acids were first used for solid phase
peptide synthesis a little more than a decade ago. Since that time, Fmoc solid
phase peptide synthesis methodology has been greatly enhanced by the
introduction of a variety of solid supports, linkages, and side chain protecting
groups, as well as by increased understanding of solvation conditions. These
advances have le... hiện toàn bộ
The toxic peptides from Amanita mushrooms Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 257-276 - 1983
Theodor Wieland
The results of 50 years of effort in the chemistry of Amanita toxins are
reviewed. The phallotoxins, fast acting components, but not responsible for
fatal intoxications after ingestion, are bicyclic heptapeptides. They combine
with F‐actin, stabilizing this protein against several destabilizing influences.
The virotoxins likewise fast acting are monocyclic heptapeptides. The amatoxins
which are th... hiện toàn bộ
A common cytolytic region in myotoxins, hemolysins, cardiotoxins and antibacterial peptides* Tập 34 Số 4 - Trang 277-286 - 1989
R. Manjunatha Kini, Herbert J. Evans
Several proteins and polypeptides of reptilian, amphibian, insect, and microbial
origin share a common cytolytic property. However, these cytolysins fulfill
different objectives. They provide offensive armament in the case of toxins, but
defensive systems in the case of antibacterial peptides. The sequences of
several nonenzymatic cytolysins and their analogues were compared to identify
the struct... hiện toàn bộ
Amino acid structure and “difficult sequences” in solid phase peptide synthesis Tập 40 Số 3-4 - Trang 300-307 - 1992
J Bedford, Carolyn B. Hyde, Tony Johnson, Jun Wang, David Owen, Martin Quibell, R. C. Sheppard
Deprotection peak profiles have been determined as a measure of internal
aggregation during Fmoc‐polyamide continuous flow solid phase synthesis. The
results have been correlated with amino‐acid structure and discussed in terms of
minimising aggregation during synthesis.
Stereochemistry of collagen* Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 1-16 - 1988
G. N. Ramachandran
This review article, based on a lecture delivered in Madras in 1985, is an
account of the author's experience in the working out of the molecular structure
and conformation of the collagen triple‐helix over the years 1952–78. It starts
with the first proposal of the correct triple‐helix in 1954, but with three
residues per turn, which was later refined in 1955 into a coiled‐coil structure
with app... hiện toàn bộ
Use of N,O‐bis‐Fmoc‐d‐Tyr‐ONSu for introduction of an oxidative iodination site into cholecystokinin family peptides Tập 31 Số 5 - Trang 429-434 - 1988
Stephen Powers, Delia I. Pinon, Laurence J. Miller
We report the synthesis of a new reagent for the introduction of an oxidative
iodination site into the amino terminus of acid‐labile peptides, and the use of
this reagent to synthesize a novel affinity‐labeling probe for the
cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor. The acylation reagent,
N,O‐bis‐fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl‐d‐tyrosine hydroxysuccinimide ester, utilizes
base‐labile protection of both the alph... hiện toàn bộ
Conformational modifications of cyclic hexapeptide somatostatin analogs Tập 23 Số 2 - Trang 142-150 - 1984
Roger Freidinger, Debra S. Perlow, William C. Randall, Richard Saperstein, Byron H. Arison, Daniel F. Veber
A model for the bioactive conformation of the highly active cyclic hexapeptide
somatostatin analog cyclo‐(Pro‐Phe‐d‐Trp‐Lys‐Thr‐Phe) has been proposed. As a
test of this model, several compounds containing lactam and N‐Me amino acid
conformational modifications in the Thr‐Phe‐Pro‐Phe beta turn were synthesized.
The N‐Me alanine and sarcosine substitutions for proline gave highly active
analogs, wh... hiện toàn bộ
Isolation of a heptapeptide Val‐Val‐Tyr‐Pro‐Trp‐Thr‐Gln (valorphin) with some opiate activity Tập 39 Số 6 - Trang 477-484 - 1992
Judit Érchegyi, Abba J. Kastin, James E. Zadina, X. Qiu
Bovine hypothalamic tissue was extracted and purified by solid phase extraction
and several reversed‐phase HPLC steps. The amino acid sequence of the purified
peptide was determined by Edman degradation to be Val‐Val‐Tyr‐Pro‐Trp‐Thr‐Gln.
This was confirmed by comparison of its chromatographic behavior with that of
the synthetic peptide, and mass spectrometric analysis resulted in a mass
identical ... hiện toàn bộ
