Clostridium difficile sortase recognizes a (S/P)PXTG sequence motif and can accommodate diaminopimelic acid as a substrate for transpeptidation.

FEBS Lett. 588(23) , 4325-33, (2014)

Covalent attachment of surface proteins to the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria requires a sortase-mediated transpeptidation reaction. In almost all Gram-positive bacteria, the housekeeping sortase, sortase A, recognizes the canonical recognition sequence ...

Synthesis of chimeric tetrapeptide-linked cholic acid derivatives: impending synergistic agents.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 18 , 5512-7, (2008)

Tetrapeptides derived from glycine and beta-alanine were hooked at the C-3beta position of the modified cholic acid to realize novel linear tetrapeptide-linked cholic acid derivatives. All the synthesized compounds were tested against a wide variety of microo...

Human PEPT1 pharmacophore distinguishes between dipeptide transport and binding.

J. Med. Chem. 49 , 3636-44, (2006)

The human intestinal oligopeptide transporter (PEPT1) facilitates the absorption of dipeptides, tripeptides, and many peptidomimetic drugs. In this study, a large number of peptides were selected to investigate the structural features required for PEPT1 trans...

Coordination of (glycyl)(n)glycine (n = 1-3) to Co+ and Co2+.

J. Phys. Chem. A 113(31) , 8883-92, (2009)

This paper analyses the interaction of Co+ (d8, 1G, and 3F) and Co2+ (d7, 4F) cations with (glycyl)(n)glycine (n = 1-3) oligomers. The structure, relative energies, and binding energies of the complexes formed have been theoretically determined by means of de...

Oxidative DNA damage induced by Cu(II)-oligopeptide complexes and hydrogen peroxide.

Biochem. Mol. Biol. Int. 34(4) , 801-8, (1994)

At physiological pH values, Cu(II)-tetraglycine and Cu(II) complexes with peptides containing a histidyl residue at the N-terminal caused DNA strand breakage in the presence of H2O2, whereas Cu(II) complexes with peptides containing histidyl residue in the se...

Solid-state IR-LD spectroscopic and theoretical analysis of glycine-containing peptides and their hydrochlorides.

Biopolymers 82(6) , 587-96, (2006)

As part of an investigation on the coordination ability of peptides, structural analyses of the solid di-, tri, and tetrapeptides glycyl-glycine (GG), glycyl-glycyl-glycine (GGG), glycyl-glycyl-glycyl-glycine (GGGG), and their protonated hydrochlorides glycyl...

The effect of disorder on the chemical reactivity of an organic solid, tetraglycine methyl ester: change of the reaction mechanism.

J. Pharm. Sci. 91(2) , 584-93, (2002)

Many drugs undergo chemical changes in the solid state, and understanding chemical reactivity of organic crystals is a critical factor in the drug development process. In this report, the impact of milling on the thermal chemical reactivity of an organic soli...

Effect of nickel(II) and tetraglycine on hydroxylation of the guanine moiety in 2'-deoxyguanosine, DNA, and nucleohistone by hydrogen peroxide.

Sci. Total Environ. 148(2-3) , 207-16, (1994)

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Ni(II)-tetraglycine complex system (NiG4) that is known to disproportionate H2O2 at pH > or = 8 can catalyze oxidation of the guanine residues in 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG), calf thymus DNA, and calf thymus n...

Copper-induced oligomerization of peptides: a model study.

Eur. J. Mass Spectrom. (Chichester, Eng.) 13(5) , 331-7, (2007)

In this work, copper-binding of the tetraglycine peptide (Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly) was studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Experiments were performed under alkaline conditions, in the presence of ethanolamine (pH 10.95). We observed that the presenc...

Chemiluminescent reaction of sulphite auto-oxidation in the presence of Ni(II)/tetraglycine and ruthenium(II)/bipy complexes: mechanistic considerations.

Luminescence 20(6) , 428-34, (2005)

The present work is a mechanistic study of the possible analytical chemiluminescent reaction of sulphite oxidation in the presence of dissolved oxygen, Ni(II)/tetraglycine and [RuII(bipy)3]2+ ions. The Ni(III) complex oxidizes SO32- to SO3-, reacts with oxyge...
