Application

Olefinic alpha-methyl amino acid for peptide stapling. Upon incorporation of this amino acid into a peptide, along with another of the same or derivative with a different length of the olefinic side chain, the two can be ′stapled′ via a ring closing metathesis reaction with Grubb′s catalyst (product # 579726). The resulting stapled peptide macrocycle has been shown to stabilize the alpha-helical structure of peptides, which can lead to favorable biological characteristics such as increased proteolytic stability and cellular uptake.

Nature protocols, 6(6), 761-771 (2011-06-04)
This protocol provides a detailed procedure for the preparation of stapled α-helical peptides, which have proven their potential as useful molecular probes and as next-generation therapeutics. Two crucial features of this protocol are (i) the construction of peptide substrates containing

Scientific reports, 5, 12116-12116 (2015-07-15)
Previous publications on stapled peptide inhibitors against Mdm2/Mdm4-p53 interactions have established that this new class of drugs have the potential to be easily optimised to attain high binding affinity and specificity, but the mechanisms controlling their cellular uptake and target
