This study describes the screening of a peptide phage display library for amino acid sequences that bind with different affinities to a novel class of chelating ligands complexed with Ni²+ ions. These chelating ligands are based on the 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (TACN) structure and have been chosen to allow enhanced efficiency in protein capture and decreased propensity for metal ion leakage in the immobilized metal ion affinity chromatographic (IMAC) purification of recombinant proteins. Utilising high stringency screening conditions, various peptide sequences containing multiple histidine, tryptophan, and/or tyrosine residues were identified amongst the different phage peptide sequences isolated. The structures, and particularly the conserved locations of these key amino acid residues within the selected heptapeptides, form a basis to design specific peptide tags for use with these novel TACN ligands as a new mode of IMAC purification of recombinant proteins.

Antimony-119 (119Sb) is one of the most attractive Auger-electron emitters identified to date, but it remains practically unexplored for targeted radiotherapy because no chelators have been identified to stably bind this metalloid in vivo. In a departure from current studies focused on chelator development for Sb(III), we explore the chelation chemistry of Sb(V) using the tris-catecholate ligand TREN-CAM. Through a combination of radiolabeling, spectroscopic, solid-state, and computational studies, the radiochemistry and structural chemistry of TREN-CAM with 1XX/natSb(V) were established.

The lanthanide contraction is a widely known phenomenon in which the ionic radii of the Ln ions decrease across the series from La to Lu. As a result, the distance (Ln-Y), where Y is a ligand donor atom, decreases across the series. As shown previously, the decrease normally has a linear dependence on the number of 4f Ln electrons, , and the net change, Δ', is between 0.

The copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers presents a significant challenge. While palladium catalysts have shown promise, nickel catalysts are more economical but suffer from poor activity. Previous studies suggest that the isomerization step involved in the nickel-catalyzed polymerization may influence the catalyst activities.

The present study focuses on designing mutant peptides derived from the lanthanide binding tag (LBT) to enhance selectivity for trivalent actinide (An) ions over lanthanide (Ln) metal ions (M). The LBT is a short peptide consisting of only 17 amino acids, and is known for its high affinity towards Ln. LBT was modified by substituting hard-donor ligands like asparagine (ASN or N) and aspartic acid (ASP or D) with softer ligand cysteine (CYS or C) to create four mutant peptides: M-LBT (wild-type), M-N103C, M-D105C, and M-N103C-D105C.
