1,4-Diamino-2-butyne was prepared from 1,4-dichloro-2-butyne via 1,4-diazido-2-butyne. Bis(amino acid) derivatives of 1,4-diamino-2-butyne having the general structure (Boc-Xxx-NHCH2C[triple bond])2 (Xxx = Ala, Phe and Met) were prepared and examined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Using chemical shift, coupling constant and DMSO titration data it is found that these compounds adopt a C2-symmetric turn conformation featuring two intramolecular hydrogen bonds.

Neutral bis(amino acidato)copper(II) [Cu(aa)] coordination compounds are the physiological species of copper(II) amino acid compounds in blood plasma taking the form of bis(l-histidinato)copper(II) and mixed ternary copper(II)-l-histidine complexes, preferably with l-glutamine, l-threonine, l-asparagine, and l-cysteine. These amino acids have three functional groups that can bind metal ions: the common α-amino and carboxylate groups and a side-chain polar group. In Cu(aa), two coordinating groups per amino acid bind to copper(II) in-plane, while the third group can bind apically, which yields many possibilities for axial and planar bonds, that is, for bidentate and tridentate binding.

The thioether-connected bis-amino acid lanthionine (Lan) residues are class-defining residues of lanthipeptides. Typically, the cyclization step of lanthionine formation, which relies on the addition of a cysteine to an unsaturated dehydroamino acid, is directed either by a standalone cyclase LanC (class I) or by a cyclase domain (class II-IV). However, the pathways of characterized class V members often lack a known cyclase (domain), raising a question on the mechanism by which their multi-macrocycle systems are formed.

Lanthipeptides make up a large group of natural products that belong to the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs). Lanthipeptides contain lanthionine and methyllanthionine bis-amino acids that have varying stereochemistry. The stereochemistry of new lanthipeptides is often not determined because current methods require equipment that is not standard in most laboratories.

Neutral (l-histidinato)(l-glutaminato)copper(II) [Cu(His)(Gln)] has been established as the most abundant ternary copper(II) amino acid compound of the exchangeable copper(II) pool in blood plasma. The experimental studies of Cu(His)(Gln) and bis(glutaminato)copper(II) [Cu(Gln)] in solutions did not specify their complete geometries. To determine the geometries, this paper investigates the conformers, energy landscapes, and a structure-magnetic parameters relation of Cu(Gln) and Cu(His)(Gln) by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

The irradiation of 2-aryl-4-(-3'-aryl-allylidene)-5(4)-oxazolones with blue light (456 nm) in the presence of [Ru(bpy)](BF) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, 5% mol) gives the unstable cyclobutane-bis(oxazolones) by [2+2]-photocycloaddition of two oxazolones . Each oxazolone contributes to the formation of with a different C=C bond, one of them reacting through the exocyclic C=C bond, while the other does so through the styryl group. Treatment of unstable cyclobutanes with NaOMe/MeOH produces the oxazolone ring opening reaction, affording stable styryl-cyclobutane bis(amino acids) .
