Genetic Encoding of N6-(((Trimethylsilyl)methoxy)carbonyl)-L-lysine for NMR Studies of Protein-Protein and Protein-Ligand Interactions

Elwy H. Abdelkader et al.

Summary: Trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups are excellent NMR probes for biological macromolecules, and a system for genetic encoding of N-6-(((trimethylsilyl)-methoxy)carbonyl)-l-lysine (TMSK) has been developed for site-specific incorporation into proteins. TMSK can be readily identified in high-molecular weight systems without isotopic labeling, providing an inexpensive and convenient tool for studying protein structure and function. The utility of TMSK has been demonstrated in detecting ligand binding, measuring conformational change rates, and assessing protein dimerization.

2-Cyanoisonicotinamide Conjugation: A Facile Approach to Generate Potent Peptide Inhibitors of the Zika Virus Protease

Nitin A. Patil et al.

Summary: The study introduces a new biocompatible click reaction for rapid generation of macrocyclic peptides, allowing direct attachment to different linkers during solid-phase peptide synthesis. Four cyclic peptide ligands targeting the Zika virus protease were prepared, with activity strongly dependent on linker length, and the most active cyclic peptide displaying 78 times higher affinity than its linear analogue.

Sense codon reassignment enables viral resistance and encoded polymer synthesis

Wesley E. Robertson et al.

Summary: By deleting tRNAs in cells through experimental compression and evolution, these cells became completely resistant to viruses and were unable to read the canonical genetic code. By reassigning codons, the cells were able to efficiently synthesize proteins containing different noncanonical amino acids. Additionally, the cells were successfully reprogrammed to translate diverse noncanonical heteropolymers and macrocycles.

A biocompatible stapling reaction for in situ generation of constrained peptides

Richard Morewood et al.

Summary: Constrained peptides are promising next-generation therapeutics, and peptide stapling is an effective technique to improve the biological activity and metabolic stability of constrained macrocycles. A biocompatible two-component stapling approach based on 2,6-dicyanopyridine and a pseudo-cysteine amino acid allows for efficient stapling either during solid-phase synthesis or following isolation of linear peptides. The orthogonal stapling reaction in aqueous solution at physiological pH enables its direct use in biochemical assays, and successful identification of constrained peptide inhibitors has been demonstrated through a small screening campaign targeting the Zika virus protease NS2B-NS3.
