L-Homophenylalanine (L-Hph) is a useful chiral building block for synthesis of several drugs, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and the novel proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib. While the chemoenzymatic route of synthesis is fully developed, we investigated microbial production of L-Hph to explore

In continuation of our efforts to elucidate the role of positions 2 and 3 in arginine vasopressin (AVP) and its analogues, we designed and synthesized peptides modified in these positions with l-beta-homophenylalanine (beta-Hph). Two of them had just this single

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) play important roles in multiple signal transduction pathways but the precise role of individual CPK is largely unknown. We isolated two cDNAs encoding two CPK isoforms (Cicer arietinum CPKs-CaCPK1 and CaCPK2) of chickpea. Their expression in

Modifications of DPP-4 inhibitor 5, that was discovered by structure based design, are described and structure-activity relationships discussed. With analogue 7k one of the most potent non-covalent inhibitors of DPP-4 reported to date (IC(50)=0.38nM) was discovered. X-ray structure of inhibitor

Adventitious bud formation in stone pine cotyledons cultured in the presence of benzyladenine (BA) has been proposed as a model for the study of in vitro shoot organogenesis in conifers. This is because of its advantageous characteristics including the requirement
