6-(3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H,4H-2aλ3-ioda-2,3-dioxacyclopenta[hi]indene-1,4-dione (p-BTFP-iodosodilactone, 1a) was synthesized and demonstrated to be an efficient hypervalent iodine(III) reagent for the synthesis of dipeptides from various standard amino acids, including sterically hindered amino acids, in good to high yields within 30 min in the presence of tris(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphine. In addition, the combined system of 1a/(4-MeOC6H4)3P was used to synthesize the pentapeptide leu-enkephalin in protected form. It is worth noting that 1a can be regenerated readily after reaction.

The single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of a new tripeptide motif Boc-Tyr-Aib-Xaa-OMe (Xaa = Leu/Ile/Ala) reveal that the peptides adopt β-turn conformations which self-assemble to form a supramolecular double helical structure using various non-covalent interactions in the solid state and the peptides exhibit a type-III N2 sorption isotherm.

A tripeptide containing an Aib (α-amino isobutyric acid) residue self-assembles to form porous nanomaterials in solid state. In spite of having a hollow nanotubular structure, the self-assembly nature of the peptide is different, which leads to the formation of pores with different internal diameters. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction study reveals that the peptide forms continuous hydrogen-bonded poly-disperse nanopores (3, 5 and 8 membered) starting from the β-turn conformation as an associating sub-unit. The field emission scanning electron micrograph (FESEM) shows that the average pore sizes are in the range of 20 to 200 nm, although a few large pores are also visible. Moreover, the peptide 1 acts as an in situ reducing agent to synthesize hexagonal gold nanoparticles (GNP).

Synthetic oligopeptides containing redox-active tyrosine residues have been employed to prepare gold and silver nanoparticles. In this reduction process an electron from the tyrosinate ion of the peptide is transferred to the metal ion at basic pH through the formation of a tyrosyl radical, which is eventually converted to its dityrosine form during the reaction. This reaction mechanism was confirmed from UV-visible, fluorescence, and EPR spectroscopy and was found to be pH-dependent. Transmission electron microscopy measurement shows that the average size and the monodispersity of gold nanoparticles increase as the number of tyrosine residues in the peptide increases. The kinetic study, based on spectrophotometric measurements of the surface plasmon resonance optical property, shows that the rate of formation of gold nanoparticles was much faster at higher pH than at lower pH and was also dependent on the number of tyrosine residues present in the peptide. The dityrosine form of the peptide was found to retain reducing properties like those of tyrosine in basic medium.

The previous rules proposed for selective recognition of μ and δ opioid receptors by modified enkephalins were investigated through an extensive structure-activity study. Thus, modifications of the sequence of TRIMU 4 (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-NHCH(CH3)CH
