Cyclic phosphopeptides were prepared using ring-closing metathesis followed by phosphorylation. These cyclic phosphopeptides were designed to interact with the SH2 domain of Grb2, which is a signal transduction protein of importance as a target for antiproliferative drug development. Binding of these peptides to the Grb2 SH2 domain was evaluated by a surface plasmon resonance assay. High affinity binding to the Grb2 SH2 domain was maintained upon macrocyclization, thus indicating that this method can be used to assemble high affinity cyclic phosphopeptides that interfere with signal transduction cascades.

A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) method was developed for determination of protein kinase A (PKA) ultra-sensitively based on amidated nano-titanium (NH-TiO) embellished carbon dots (Mg@N-CDs) fluorescent probe, which integrated the target recognition and ECL signal enhancement. The Cys-labeled kemptides were employed to build a serine-rich synthetic substrate-heptapeptide (Cys-kemptide) on the Au-electrode surface. Then, the PKA-induced biosensor was triggered as a signal switch to introduce the large amounts of TiO decorated Mg@N-CD nanohybrid (Ti@NMg-CDs) into AuE/Cys-phosphopeptides for signal output.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of increasing concern. It belongs to diseases termed tauopathies which are characterized by inclusions of abnormally hyperphosphorylated and truncated forms of the protein tau. Studies of tauopathies often focus on detection and characterization of these aberrant tau proteoforms, in particular the phosphorylation sites, which represent a significant analytical challenge for example when several phosphosites can be present on the same peptide.

Cell-impermeable and negatively charged compounds' cellular uptake across the cell membranes remains challenging. Herein, the synthesis of four linear [(WWRR), (WWRR), (WWRR), and (WWRR)] and four cyclic ([WWRR], [WWRR], [WWRR], and [WWRR]) peptides containing alternate two tryptophan (WW) and two arginine (RR) residues and their biological evaluation as molecular transporters are reported. The peptides did not show any significant cytotoxicity in different cell lines (MDA-MB-23, SK-OV-3, and HEK 293) at a concentration of 5 μM and after 3 h of incubation time.

Leydig cells produce testosterone, a hormone essential for male sex differentiation and spermatogenesis. The pituitary hormone, LH, stimulates testosterone production in Leydig cells by increasing the intracellular cAMP levels, which leads to the activation of various kinases and transcription factors, ultimately stimulating the expression of the genes involved in steroidogenesis. The second messenger, cAMP, is subsequently degraded to AMP, and the increase in the intracellular AMP levels activates AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK).

A series of cyclic peptides, [(DipR)(WR)], [(DipR)(WR)], [(DipR)(WR)], [(DipR)(WR)], and [DipR], and their linear counterparts containing arginine (R) as positively charged residues and tryptophan (W) or diphenylalanine (Dip) as hydrophobic residues, were synthesized and evaluated for their molecular transporter efficiency. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the synthesized peptides was determined in human epithelial ovary adenocarcinoma cells (SK-OV-3), human lymphoblast peripheral blood cells (CCRF-CEM), human embryonic epithelial kidney healthy cells (HEK-293), human epithelial mammary gland adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB-468), pig epithelial kidney normal cells (LLC-PK1), and human epithelial fibroblast uterine sarcoma cells (MES-SA). A concentration of 5-10 µM and 3 h incubation were selected in uptake studies.
