Synthesis of a radioiodinated park nucleotide analog: A new tool for antibacterial screen development
The Park nucleotide is an important biological building block used in the construction of bacterial cell walls. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a radiolabeled Park nucleotide analog, p-iodophenoxyacyl-Ala-(D)-iso- GluLys-(D)-Ala-(D)-Ala-OH-[125

Control of lysyl oxidase activity through site-specific deuteration of lysine
Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is implicated in several extracellular matrix related disorders, including fibrosis and cancer. Methods of inhibition of LOX in vivo include antibodies, copper sequestration and toxic small molecules such as β-aminopropionitrile. Here,

Reversible protection of lysine to facilitate the purification of protected peptide segments
The polarity of temporarily free lysine side chains can be exploited to aid in the purification of protected peptides. The amine groups can easily be reprotected after the purification step. Impurities in commercial TFE1 can cause trifluoroacetylation of free primary amines.
