Summary

Um protocolo para a síntese de um 1,2-Ditiolano modificado de peptídeo e a caracterização das estruturas supramoleculares resultantes do peptide auto-montagem.

Abstract

Este relatório centra-se na síntese de um N-terminal 1,2-Ditiolano modificado auto-montagem de peptídeo e a caracterização dos resultante Self montadas estruturas supramoleculares. A rota sintética tira proveito da síntese do peptide de fase sólida com o engate em resina Ditiolano precursor da molécula de, 3-(acetylthio) -2-ácido (acetylthiomethyl) e o tioacetato assistida por microondas deprotection do peptide N-terminal antes de clivagem final da resina para produzir o 1,2-Ditiolano modificado do peptide. Após a purificação de cromatografia líquida de alto desempenho (HPLC) do peptide 1,2-Ditiolano, derivado do núcleo de nucleação do peptide Aβ associado com a doença de Alzheimer, o peptídeo é mostrado a auto-montagem em fibras de amiloides Cruz-β. Protocolos para caracterizar as fibras amiloides por espectroscopia de infravermelho-transformada de Fourier (FT-IR), espectroscopia de Dicroísmo circular (CD) e microscopia eletrônica de transmissão (TEM) são apresentados. Os métodos de modificação do N-terminal com um grupo de 1,2-Ditiolano bem caracterizadas péptidos auto-montagem agora podem ser explorados como sistemas modelo para desenvolver estratégias de modificação pós-montagem e explorar o dinâmica química covalente superfícies de nanofibras de peptídeo supramolecular.

Introduction

Robusta peptídica formando a química envolvida na síntese do peptide de fase sólida e a capacidade de controlar a composição e o comprimento da sequência fazer os peptídeos que auto-montagem em estruturas supramoleculares um campo fortemente pesquisado. Os fatores que controlam e estabilizar a estrutura Self montada do peptide, incluindo cadeia lateral estérica e interações eletrostáticas, ligações de hidrogênio e efeitos hidrofóbicos1, servem como um conjunto de regras de design. Como a investigação sobre essas regras de design fundamental continua a progredir, o próximo passo lógico na peptídeo auto-montagem envolve expandir a diversidade de funções e estruturas do peptide-baseado. Ao montar auto peptídeos são um biomaterial versátil que foram usados para muitas aplicações biomédicas ajustando o peptídeo sequência ou conjunto condições2,3,4, o desenvolvimento de estratégias para modificações pós-montagem do peptide nanofibras5,6,7,8,9 continua a ser uma área relativamente inexplorada.

Bissulfeto dinâmico intercâmbio e tiol química na superfície de estruturas supramoleculares é uma área que tem potencial para produzir biomateriais novos e funcionais. A incorporação de partes de 1,2-Ditiolano (comumente um derivado do ácido lipoico (la) ou asparagúsico (aa)) têm sido relatados em lipossomas sistemas10,11,12,de copolímeros bloco13e como organizando as âncoras às superfícies14,15. Neste documento, nós relatamos a síntese e caracterização de um peptídeo de auto-montagem derivado do núcleo de nucleação do peptide Aβ associado com a doença de Alzheimer que é modificada no N-terminal com um grupo funcional de 1,2-Ditiolano16, 17. As fibras supramoleculares resultantes agora servem como uma plataforma experimental para estudar a reatividade de bissulfeto-troca e tiol na superfície supramolecular de fibras amiloides18.
