Protein-mimics are of great interest for their structure, stability, and properties. We are interested in the synthesis of protein-mimics containing triazole linkages as peptide-bond surrogate by topochemical azide-alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) polymerization of azide- and alkyne-modified peptides. The rationally designed dipeptide N3-CH2CO-Phe-NHCH2CCH (1) crystallized in a parallel β-sheet arrangement and are head-to-tail aligned in a direction perpendicular to the β-sheet-direction. Upon heating, crystals of 1 underwent single-crystal-to-single-crystal polymerization forming a triazole-linked pseudoprotein with Gly-Phe-Gly repeats. During TAAC polymerization, the pseudoprotein evolved as helical chains. These helical chains are laterally assembled by backbone hydrogen bonding in a direction perpendicular to the helical axis to form helical sheets. This interesting helical-sheet orientation in the crystal resembles the cross-α-amyloids, where α-helices are arranged laterally as sheets.

A diphenylalanine derivative, N3-Phe-Phe-NHCH2CCH, was designed for topochemical azide–alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) polymerization. This dipeptide adopted β-sheet arrangement as designed, in its crystals, but the azide and alkyne were not fitly aligned for

The human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses the pqs quorum sensing system to coordinate the production of its broad spectrum of virulence factors to facilitate colonization and infection of its host. Hereby, the enzyme PqsD is a virulence related quoru

A 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition has been used to prepare a magnetic nanoparticle immobilized MacMillan catalyst that catalyzes the enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between nitrones and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The catalyst can be recovered and recycled for five consecutive runs without any significant loss in yields and diastereo- and enantioselectivities of the isoxazolidines. Copyright
