We describe a method to protect the sensitive stereochemistry of the thioamide—in analogy to the protection of the functional groups of amino acid side chains—in order to preserve the thioamide moiety during peptide elongation.<br>

A soluble polynorbornene support containing an oligoether linker as well as alkyl and oligoether side chains has been developed and used to synthesize Leu5-Enkephalin in 52% overall yield using only 1.2 equivalents of coupling reagents.

Reaction of N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives of aliphatic amino acids, and threonine, aspartic, and glutamic acids whose side-chains were protected with the t-butyl group, gave the corresponding N-methylamino acid derivatives in good yields. The methionine derivative could be obtained by using only one mol of methyl iodide. Derivatives of threonine, and aspartic and glutamic acids whose side-chains were not protected could not be methylated. Analysis of the crude products of methylation in three cases showed that they contained 0–1% of racemized material.

This review paper reports usefulness of two-dimensional (2D) correlation spectroscopy in analyzing infrared (IR) spectra of proteins in aqueous solutions. In the 2D approach, spectral peaks are spread over the second dimension, thereby simplifying the visualization of complex spectra consisting of many overlapped bands, and enhancing spectral resolution. 2D correlation spectroscopy has a powerful deconvolution ability for highly overlapped amide I, amide II, and amide III bands of proteins, enabling these bands to be assigned to various secondary structures. It also provides the specific order of the spectral intensity changes taking place during the measurement on the value of controlling variable affecting the spectra. Therefore, one can monitor the order of secondary structure variations in proteins by using 2D IR correlation spectroscopy. 2D correlation spectroscopy also provides new insight into the hydrogen bondings of side chains of proteins. In this review the principles and advantages of 2D correlation spectroscopy are outlined first and then three examples of the applications of 2D IR spectroscopy to protein research are presented.

Cyclic disulfides of cysteinyl-tetraglycyl-cysteine (Ia), cysteinyl-tyrosyl-triglycyl-cysteine (Ib) and cysteinyl-tyrosyl-isoleucyl-diglycyl-cysteine (Ic) were synthesized by classical methods of peptide synthesis. The actions of solvent and of side chains in the positions 2 and 3 on the conformational arrangement of the peptide backbone and the disulfide group were investigated by means of CD spectroscopy. Some mechanisms which co-operate in stabilizing the oxytocin conformation were identified. Hence, it may be deduced, that the amino acid sequence in the positions 1-3 determines the spatial arrangement characteristic for oxytocin, at least in a protonating medium.
