Minimalist secondary structure mimics are typically made to resemble one interface in a protein-protein interaction (PPI), and thus perturb it. We recently proposed suitable chemotypes can be matched with interface regions directly, without regard for secondary structures. Here we describe a modular synthesis of a new chemotype 1, simulation of its solution-state conformational ensemble, and correlation of that with ideal secondary structures and real interface regions in PPIs. Scaffold 1 presents amino acid side-chains that are quite separated from each other, in orientations that closely resemble ideal sheet or helical structures, similar non-ideal structures at PPI interfaces, and regions of other PPI interfaces where the mimic conformation does not resemble any secondary structure. 68 different PPIs where conformations of 1 matched well were identified. A new method is also presented to determine the relevance of a minimalist mimic crystal structure to its solution conformations. Thus dld-1-faf crystallized in a conformation that is estimated to be 0.91 kcal-mol-1 above the minimum energy solution state. Do we know, when designing a new peptidomimetic scaffold like the one shown, how it can resemble secondary structures? Design and modular synthesis of this elongated mimic is reported, and the structure is related to ideal and real structures at PPI interfaces.
Hydrodehalogenation of alkyl iodides with base-mediated hydrogenation and catalytic transfer hydrogenation: Application to the asymmetric synthesis of N-protected α-methylamines

We report a very mild synthesis of N-protected α-methylamines from the corresponding amino acids. Carboxyl groups of amino acids are reduced to iodomethyl groups via hydroxymethyl intermediates. Reductive deiodination to methyl groups is achieved by hydrogenation or catalytic transfer hydrogenation under alkaline conditions. Basic hydrodehalogenation is selective for the iodomethyl group over hydrogenolysis-labile protecting groups, such as benzyloxycarbonyl, benzyl ester, benzyl ether, and 9-fluorenyloxymethyl, thus allowing the conversion of virtually any protected amino acid into the corresponding N-protected α-methylamine.
Dehydrooligopeptides. XVII. Practical syntheses of all of the diastereomers of N,N-protected 2,3-diaminobutanoic acids from L- and D-threonine derivatives

Syntheses of all of the dioctereomers of 2,3-diaminobutanoic acids, found in some pedtide antibiotics and toxins, were accomplished. The four isomers were derived mainly through two pathways including S(N)2 inversions of the β-substituent of L- or D-threonine derivatives. The various protecting groups and effective nucleophiles for the S(N)2 inversion were examined.
