Intramolecularly stapled amphipathic peptides via a boron-sugar interaction

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Aug 11;56(62):8814-8817. doi: 10.1039/d0cc02603d. Epub 2020 Jul 6.

Abstract

Amadori products (deoxyfructosyllysine derivatives) that can selectively interact with phenylboronic acids and borate ions were synthesized. The intramolecular interactions between the fructosyl moiety and phenylboronic acid incorporated into various positions of the peptide chain were investigated using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS), circular dichroism (CD), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
