Analysis of tryptophan, tyrosine and related dipeptides in mouse brain by isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography with switchable wavelength fluorescence detection.

Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis

Viell B, Weidler B, Krause B, Vestweber KH.
PMID: 16867364
J Pharm Biomed Anal. 1988;6(6):933-8. doi: 10.1016/0731-7085(88)80112-2.

Tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) are pharmacologically active compounds which, after administration of adequate doses, are increased in level in the brain, and stimulate neurotransmitter synthesis. Trp and Tyr containing dipeptides were tested as possible substitutes with regard to...

Org Biomol Chem. 2007 Mar 07;5(5):778-86. doi: 10.1039/b617217b. Epub 2007 Jan 26.

Expanding on our earlier building block architecture [(MeO)(2)CH-Linker-Pro-X-NHNH(2) where X = Phe, Cha], we have produced a series of new pseudo-dipeptides [(MeO)(2)CH-Linker-Pro-X-NHNH(2) where X = Val, Leu, Ile, Ala] for use in hydrazone-based dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCLs); reverse order...

Enzymatic conversion of cyclic dipeptides to dehydro derivatives that inhibit cell division.

Journal of bioscience and bioengineering

Kanzaki H, Imura D, Nitoda T, Kawazu K.

J Biosci Bioeng. 2000;90(1):86-9. doi: 10.1016/s1389-1723(00)80039-0.

The cell-free extract of an albonoursin-producing strain, Streptomyces albulus KO-23, was found to catalyze the conversion of several cyclic dipeptides having Phe and aliphatic side chain-containing amino acid residues to the corresponding dehydro derivatives. 3Z-Benzylidene-6S-methyl-2,5-piperazinedione, 3Z-benzylidene-2,5-piperazinedione, and 3Z, 6Z-dibenzylidene-2,5-piperazinedione...

How Does an Amide-N Chemical Shift Tensor Vary in Peptides?.

The journal of physical chemistry. B

Poon A, Birn J, Ramamoorthy A.

J Phys Chem B. 2004 Oct 21;108(42):16577-16585. doi: 10.1021/jp0471913.

This study addresses a void in the existing literature on the amide-(15)N chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) tensor of peptides: a systematic investigation of how the tensor varies in different peptides. Amide-(15)N CSA tensors for several dipeptides are obtained using...

Enhanced permeability of phenylalanyl-glycine (Phe-Gly) across the intestinal membranes by chemical modification with various fatty acids.

Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics

Yamamoto A, Morishita Y, Sugishita S, Hayami T, Okada N, Fujita T, Muranishi S.
PMID: 15618716
Drug Metab Pharmacokinet. 2003;18(1):23-32. doi: 10.2133/dmpk.18.23.

We synthesized four novel lipophilic derivatives of phenylalanyl-glycine (Phe-Gly), C4-Phe-Gly, Phe-Gly-C4, C6-Phe-Gly and C8-Phe-Gly by chemical modification with butyric acid (C4), caproic acid (C6) and octanoic acid (C8). The effect of the acylation on the stability, permeability and accumulation...

Proteases and Peptidases of Castor Bean Endosperm: Enzyme Characterization and Changes during Germination.

Plant physiology

Tully RE, Beevers H.
PMID: 16660598
Plant Physiol. 1978 Nov;62(5):746-50. doi: 10.1104/pp.62.5.746.

The endosperm of castor bean seeds (Ricinus communis L.) contains two -SH-dependent aminopeptidases, one hydrolyzing l-leucine-beta-naphthylamide optimally at pH 7.0, and the other hydrolyzing l-proline-beta-naphthylamide optimally at pH 7.5. After germination the endosperm contains in addition an -SH-dependent hemoglobin...

Esterification of N-benzyloxycarbonyldipeptides in ethanol-water with immobilized papain.

Biotechnology and bioengineering

PMID: 18613014
Biotechnol Bioeng. 1993 Jul;42(3):309-14. doi: 10.1002/bit.260420307.

The esterification of some N-benzyloxycarbonyl (Z)-dipeptides in ethanol-containing water was investigated using papain as a catalyst. The esterification took place in ethanol containing a small amount of water (2% v/v, pH 9) with free papain at room temperature. The...

Effects of charged groups in haptens on adsorption equilibrium of hapten antibody.

Biotechnology and bioengineering

Sada E, Katoh S, Miyoshi H, Yamanaka K, Kondo A.
PMID: 18587744
Biotechnol Bioeng. 1988 Aug 05;32(4):467-74. doi: 10.1002/bit.260320409.

Antisera against charged (p-azobenzoate and p-azoben zenesulfonate) and uncharged (dinitrophenyl) haptenic groups were produced in rabbits, and the equilibrium characteristics of hapten-antibody were measured by use of immunoadsorbents. The antibody to the uncharged hapten formed a stable binding with...

Sensing of commensal microorganisms via Toll-like receptors (TLR) in the gut is essential for maintaining intestinal homeostasis in healthy individuals. Conversely, Crohn's disease is characterised by an inappropriate T helper-type 1 (Th1)-mediated immune response towards these same microorganisms. NOD2...
