Efficient chemical protein synthesis using Fmoc‐masked N‐terminal cysteine in Cys‐peptide thioesters
We report here an operationally very simple method to greatly facilitate chemical protein synthesis by fully convergent and one‐pot native chemical ligations utilizing the Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) moiety as an N‐masking group of the N‐terminal cysteine of the middle peptide thioester segment(s). The Fmoc group is stable to harsh oxidative conditions frequently used to generate peptide thioester from hydrazide or o‐aminoanilide. The ready availability of the Fmoc‐Cys(Trt)‐OH, routinely used...
Cellular signaling is regulated by assembly of proteins into higher‐order complexes. Bottom‐up creation of synthetic protein assemblies, especially asymmetric complexes, is highly challenging. Here, we present the design and implementation of asymmetric assembly of a ternary protein complex facilitated by Rosetta modeling and thermodynamic analysis. We targeted the wildtype symmetric CT32‐CT32 interface of the 14‑3‑3/CT32 complex, ultimately favoring asymmetric assembly on the 14‑3‑3 scaffold. Biochemical...
Layered covalent‐organic frameworks (2D‐COFs), composed of reversible imine‐linkages and accessible pores, offer a versatile platform for chemical modifications towards the development of catalytic materials. Notably, nitrogen‐enriched COF materials have been proved as good candidates for binding palladium species. Understanding the local structure of reacting palladium sites bonded to the COF pores is key to rationalize interactions between active sites and porous surfaces. By combining advanced...
