The influence of α-aminophosphonic acids on the activity of aminopeptidase from barley seeds—an approach to determine the enzyme specificity

2015

Inhibitory potencies of 24 α-aminophosphonic acids against barley seeds (Hordeum vulgare L.) metallo-aminopeptidase have been determined to evaluate structural requirements of this enzyme. The enzyme was sensitive mostly to the influence of phosphonic acid analogues of phenylalanine and its homologues, thus showing narrow specificity if compared with porcine aminopeptidases M1 and M17 and with Plasmodium aminopeptidase M17.

Synthesis of peptides with α,β‐dehydroamino acids, III. Debenzyloxycarbonylation and detrifluoroacetylation of dehydroalanine and dehydrophenylalanin…

1985

The removal of amino protecting groups from a series of twelve model Z-3) or TFA-dipeptides of dehydroalanine and (Z)-dehydrophenylalanine was investigated. During this deprotection, peptides with Δ Ala are prone to side reactions to a higher extent than those with Δ Phe. Therefore it is interesting to note that from the Δ Ala peptides, the Z group can be split off in preparative manner with HCO2NH4 in the presence of Pd C (Table 4).

Conformational studies of hexapeptides containing two dehydroamino acid residues in positions 3 and 5 in peptide chain

2008

Abstract Synthesis and structural studies of hexapeptides containing two dehydroamino acid residues in positions 3 and 5 in a peptide chain were performed. All the investigated peptides adopted bent conformations, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding, and could exist as two different conformers in solution. Only in the case of the peptide containing ΔAla residues, expected 3 10 -helical conformation was found.

Conformation of dehydropentapeptides containing four achiral amino acid residues - controlling the role of L-valine.

2014

Structural studies of pentapeptides containing an achiral block, built from two dehydroamino acid residues (ΔZPhe and ΔAla) and two glycines, as well as one chiral L-Val residue were performed using NMR spectroscopy. The key role of the L-Val residue in the generation of the secondary structure of peptides is discussed. The obtained results suggest that the strongest influence on the conformation of peptides arises from a valine residue inserted at the C-terminal position. The most ordered conformation was found for peptide Boc-Gly-ΔAla-Gly-ΔZPhe-Val-OMe (3), which adopts a right-handed helical conformation.

Transport of amino acids and their phosphonic acid analogues through supported liquid membranes containing macrocyclic carriers. Experimental paramet…

1991

Abstract Amino acid hydrochlorides are well transported through 1-decanol membranes containing Kryptofix 5 or 222 and supported in a porous polyacrylonitrile hollow fiber matrix. Factors which influence the transport of phenylalanine hydrochloride were studied in some detail using this sheet- as well as hollow fibre-supported liquid membranes. These studies show that the choice of the membrane phase, the kind of polymeric support and the mode of membrane preparation are of great importance for the efficiency of the process. The most vital step in the membrane preparation appears to be its activation by soaking in a solution of phenylalanine hydrochloride in a water-ethanol or water-propanol…

Condensation of amides of Boc-amino acids3) with pyruvic acid leads to Boc-dipeptides 1 – 3 of dehydroalanine and 1-Boc-5-alkyl-2-methyl-4-oxo-2-imidazolidinecarboxylic acids 8 – 10. The amides, however, do not condense with phenylpyruvic acid. Boc-dipeptides of dehydroalanine (1 – 3) and dehydrophenylalanine (4 – 7) are synthesized using (Boc)2O and dehydrodipeptides with a free unmasked N-terminal amino group.

Conformational investigation of α,β‐dehydropeptides Part VI. Molecular and crystal structure of benzyloxycarbonylglycyl‐(Z )‐dehydrophenylalanine

1994

The structure of a peptide containing C-terminal dehydrophenylalanine, Z-Gly-(Z)-delta Phe (C19H18N2O5, MW = 354) was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Needle-shaped crystals were grown from a 1:1 mixture of methanol-acetone in the monoclinic space group P2(1) with a = 14.717(4), b = 4.941(2), c = 12.073(4) A, beta = 103.72(4) degrees; V = 852.86(8) A3, Z = 2 and Dc = 1.32 g cm-3. The structure was solved by direct methods using SHELXS-86 and refined to a final R-index of 0.032 for 1714 observed reflections. The peptide adopts a conformation folded at the glycine residue, and principal torsion angles are omega 0 = -167.6(2) degrees, phi 1 = -71.8(3) degrees, psi 1 = -31…
