A Cu-catalyzed three-component reaction of alkyne, azides (sulfonyl or phosphoryl azides), and N,N-dialkyloxyformamide dialkyl acetal via electrophilic addition of immonium ion to copper ketenimine is reported. This new protocol for the preparation of α,β-unsaturated amidine derivatives appears to offer high yield, mild conditions, and wide substrate scope. The reaction might involve the processes of copper ketenimine intermediate formation, electrophilic addition, and isomerization.

Phosphoglycerylation is a non-enzymatic protein modification in which a phosphoglyceryl moiety is covalently bound to the ε-amino group of lysine. It is enriched in glycolytic enzymes from humans and mice and is thought to provide a feedback mechanism for regulating glycolytic flux. We report the first proteomic analysis of this post-translational modification in bacteria by profiling phosphoglyceryl-lysine during the growth of in different culture media.

Cyclic peptides are an emerging therapeutic modality over the past few decades. To identify drug candidates with sufficient proteolytic stability for oral administration, it is critical to pinpoint the amide bond hydrolysis sites, or soft spots, to better understand their metabolism and provide guidance on further structure optimization. However, the unambiguous characterization of cyclic peptide soft spots remains a significant challenge during early stage discovery studies, as amide bond hydrolysis forms a linearized isobaric sequence with the addition of a water molecule, regardless of the amide hydrolysis location.

This is due to kinetic isotope effects in enzymes and other physical principles such as equilibrium thermodynamics.

Most tandem mass spectrometry fragmentation spectra have small calibration errors that can lead to suboptimal interpretation and annotation. We developed SpectiCal, a software tool that can read mzML files from data-dependent acquisition proteomics experiments in parallel, compute / calibrations for each file prior to identification analysis based on known low-mass ions, and produce information about frequently observed peaks and their explanations. Using calibration coefficients, the data can be corrected to generate new calibrated mzML files.

Acetylation of amino acids is important in the molecular biology and biochemistry because they are part of several metabolic pathways. N-acetyl amino acids can form through degradation of N-acetyl proteins or direct acetylation of amino acids by specific enzymes. Acetylation of α-amino acids can be either on the alpha -NH or on the side-chain functional group, where both the acetyl products are isomeric and can show different biological roles.
