The pseudodipeptide, (S)-N-isopropyl [N-(pivaloyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl]methylaminooxyacetamide, C(15)H(29)N(3)O(3), adopts a global extended conformation with the hydroxylamine group in the g(+)/g(-) structure. The C-terminal amide NH interacts intramolecularly with the hydroxylamine O atom. Both NH bonds of each molecule are hydrogen bonded to the C-terminal amide carbonyl of a neighbouring molecule.

is the leading cause of food poisoning in Europe and North America. The exterior surface of this bacterium is encased by a capsular polysaccharide that is attached to a diacyl glycerol phosphate anchor via a poly-Kdo (3-deoxy-d--oct-2-ulosinic acid) linker. In the HS:2 serotype of NCTC 11168, the repeating trisaccharide consists of d-ribose, -acetyl-d-glucosamine, and d-glucuronate.

Gaussia Luciferase (GLuc) is a renowned reporter protein that can catalyze the oxidation of coelenterazine (CTZ) and emit a bright light signal. GLuc comprises two consecutive repeats that form the enzyme body and a central putative catalytic cavity. However, deleting the C-terminal repeat only limited reduces the activity (over 30% residual luminescence intensity detectable), despite being a key part of the cavity.

We report a study of internal covalent cross-linking with photolytically generated diarylnitrile imines of N-terminal arginine, lysine, and histidine residues in peptide conjugates. Conjugates in which a 4-(2-phenyltetrazol-5-yl)benzoyl group was attached to C-terminal lysine, that we call RAAA--K, KAAA--K, and HAAA--K, were ionized by electrospray and subjected to UV photodissociation (UVPD) at 213 nm. UVPD triggered loss of N and proceeded by covalent cross-linking to nitrile imine intermediates that involved the side chains of N-terminal arginine, lysine, and histidine, as well as the peptide amide groups.

C-terminal α-amidated peptides are attractive therapeutic targets, but preparative methods to access amidated pharmaceuticals are limited both on lab and manufacturing-scale. Here we report a straightforward and scalable approach to the C-terminal α-amidation of peptides and proteins from cysteine-extended polypeptide precursors. This amidation protocol consists of three highly efficient steps: 1) selective cysteine thiol substitution with a photolabel, 2) photoinduced decarboxylative elimination and 3) enamide cleavage by simple acidolysis or inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction.

Peptide conjugates furnished with a 2,5-diaryltetrazolecarbonyl tag at the C-terminal lysine, which we call peptide--K, were found to undergo efficient cross-linking of Asp, Glu, Asn, and Gln residues to transient nitrile-imine intermediates produced by photodissociation and collision-induced dissociation (CID) of the tetrazole ring in gas-phase ions. UV photodissociation (UVPD) at 213 nm achieved cross-linking conversion yields of 37 and 61% for DAAAK--K and EAAAK--K, respectively. The yields for NAAAK--K and QAAAK--K were 29 and 57%, respectively.
