This study comprehensively explored the helix-stabilizing effects of amine-bearing hydrocarbon cross-links (ABXs), revealing their context-dependent nature influenced by various structural parameters. Notably, we identified a 9-atom ABX as a robust helix stabilizer, showcasing versatile synthetic adaptability while preserving peptide water solubility. Future investigations are imperative to fully exploit this system's potential and enrich our chemical toolkit for designing innovative peptide-based biomolecules.

Converting discrete microbial metabolites into chemical probes for chemical biology and medicinal chemistry studies is typically preceded by lengthy purification and chemical derivatization processes. Standard practice involves purifying the target microbial metabolite from culture, followed by derivatization and/or conjugation chemistry to convert the pure metabolite into a tagged species. This multistep approach can pose difficulties in generating useful yields of chemical probes, particularly in the case of low-abundant metabolites, as common in metabolomes.

An alternate synthesis route was developed to prepare norbornene-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) from reacting multiarm PEG with carbic anhydride. The macromer, PEGNB, permits photo-cross-linking of thiol-norbornene hydrogels with kinetics comparable to conventional PEGNB macromer. In addition, PEGNB provides an additional carboxylate group for further conjugation with amine-bearing molecules.

Antithrombogenicity, anti-inflammation, and rapid re-endothelialization are central requirements for the long-term success of cardiovascular stents. In this work, a plant-inspired phenolic-amine chemistry strategy was developed to combine the biological functions of a plant polyphenol, tannic acid (TA), and the thrombin inhibitor bivalirudin (BVLD) for tailoring the desired multiple surface functionalities of cardiovascular stents. To realize the synergistic modification of TA and BVLD on a stent surface, an amine-bearing coating of plasma polymerized allylamine was firstly prepared on the stent surface, followed by the sequential conjugation of TA and BVLD in alkaline solution based on phenolic-amine chemistry (i.

Regarding the high requirement of cardiac and vascular implants in tissue engineering, a novel concept of surface chemistry strategy featuring multiple functions is proposed in this study, which provides glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like catalytic activity and allows secondary reactions for grafting functional biomolecules. The suggested strategy is the fabrication of a metal-catechol-(amine) network (MCAN) containing copper ions with GPx-like activity, amine-bearing hexamethylenediamine (HD) and wet adhesive catechol dopamine (DA). With a simple one-step molecular/ion co-assembly, the developed copper-DA-HD (Cu-DA/HD) network can be used to catalyze the generation of therapeutic nitric oxide (NO) gas in a durable and dose-controllable manner.
