Porous crystalline dipeptides absorb, reversibly from the gas phase, a series of volatile fluorinated ethers in use as anesthetics. Their vapor pressure was considerably reduced, with favorable guest capture and release. Variable channel sizes were customized for selective sorption and pressure thresholds were observed in the narrowest pores. H, C and F MAS NMR coupled with ab initio conformational analysis and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations highlight the guest loading and arrangement adopted in the congruent nanochannels, suggesting how the anesthetics can accommodate in biochemical receptors.

Chromatographic behavior of new chiral stationary phases (CSPs) Chiral-T and Chiral-V with teicoplanin and vancomycin antibiotics grafted onto superficially porous silica particles was studied in relation to dipeptide (DP) stereoisomers. The unbuffered water-methanol solutions were used as mobile phases (MPs). The effects of physical properties and molecular structure of analytes and selectors on retention and separation of DP stereoisomers are discussed herein.

Prolidase (PLD) plays a crucial role as a dipeptidase in various physiological processes, specifically involved in the cleavage of proline-containing dipeptides for efficient recycling of proline. The accurate determination of PLD activity holds significant importance in clinical diagnosis. Herein, a solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was developed to address the urgent need for PLD assay.

P450 TleB catalyzes the oxidative cyclization of the dipeptide -methylvalyl-tryptophanol into indolactam V through selective intramolecular C-H bond amination at the indole C4 position. Understanding its catalytic mechanism is instrumental for the engineering or design of P450-catalyzed C-H amination reactions. Using multiscale computational methods, we show that the reaction proceeds through a diradical pathway, involving a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from N1-H to Cpd I, a conformational transformation of the substrate radical species, and a second HAT from N13-H to Cpd II.

A nanoantioxidant of mesoporous organosilica (Trp-Met-PMO) based on the framework of tryptophan-methionine dipeptide was first designed and constructed by condensation between self-created dipeptide organosilica precursor (Trp-Met-Si) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in alkaline conditions under the template hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). Trp-Met-Si was prepared by the reaction between dipeptide Trp-Met and conventional organosilicon coupling agent isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane (IPTES) via a multiple-step reaction method. The material Trp-Met-PMO was confirmed by XRD, FT-IR and N adsorption-desorption analysis.
