The use of tyrosinases in a chemoenzymatic cascade as a peptide ligation strategy
Peptides play many key roles in biological systems and numerous methods have been developed to generate both natural and unnatural peptides. However, straightforward, reliable coupling methods that can be achieved under mild reactions conditions are still sought after. In this work, a new N-terminal...

Sumario: | Peptides play many key roles in biological systems and numerous methods have been developed to generate both natural and unnatural peptides. However, straightforward, reliable coupling methods that can be achieved under mild reactions conditions are still sought after. In this work, a new N-terminal tyrosine-containing peptide ligation method with aldehydes, utilising a Pictet–Spengler reaction is described. In a key step, tyrosinase enzymes have been used to convert l-tyrosine to l-3,4-dihydroxyphenyl alanine (l-DOPA) residues, generating suitable functionality for the Pictet–Spengler coupling. This new chemoenzymatic coupling strategy can be used for fluorescent-tagging and peptide ligation purposes. |
