Some T cell epitopes become inactive when their thiols are blocked with various irreversible reagents (Régnier-Vigouroux, 1988; Maillère, 1992; Maillère et al., 1993). Blocking protein and peptide thiols with BCNP (Boc-Cys(Npys)-OH) constitutes a most appropriate strategy when searching for thiol-containing

The 3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl (Npys) derivative of cysteine was prepared and used to facilitate the formation of an unsymmetrical disulfide bond. Since this derivative is stable in trifluoroacetic acid:CH2 Cl2 (1:1) and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, Boc-Cys(Npys) could be used directly in solid

The disulfide bond in S-3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl (S-Npys) compounds is stable towards the acid treatment used in solid-phase peptide synthesis, yet the liability of S-Npys-peptides towards nucleophiles enables the conjugation to proteins to proceed under mild conditions. Thus Boc-Cys(Npys)-OH was coupled as
We previously showed that an antagonist-based peptide ligand, H-Cys(Npys)-Arg-Tyr-Tyr-Arg- Ile-Lys-NH2 , captures the free thiol groups in the ligand-binding site of the nociceptin receptor ORL1. However, the exact receptor sites of this thiol-disulfide exchange reaction have not been uncovered, although
To gain insight into the coupling mechanism of inhibitory receptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine1A receptors and alpha 2-adrenoceptors, with GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) in the central nervous system, we examined the effects of two 3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl compounds, S-(3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl)-L-cysteine [Cys(Npys)] and N-t-butoxy-carbonyl-S-(3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl)-L-cysteine [Boc-Cys(Npys)], on 1)
