Methods for precisely constructing a β-sheet assembly with number-defined strands in solution remains quite limited due to its intense aggregation property. Here, we report the precise construction of a four-stranded anti-parallel β-sheet by utilizing a non-covalent approach. This was achieved by folding and assembly of Ag and a pentapeptide (1) with the Ala-3pa-Gly-3pa-Val (3pa: β-(3-pyridyl)-alanine) sequence, which was designed to form an interlocking Ag(1) ring through metal cross-linking of the side chains.

February 2024

Department of Applied Chemistry, School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo Mitsui Link Lab Kashiwanoha 1, FS CREATION, 6-6-2 Kashiwanoha, Kashiwa, Chiba, 277-0882, Japan.

The Industries need techniques for the rapid structure analysis of amino acid derivatives. The amino acid derivatives are sometimes produced as impurities in the industrial production processes, and cause toxicity problems. Herein, we report the crystalline sponge (CS) method analysis of variety of amino acids using a formyl group installed CS crystal.
