A simple solid phase diversity linker strategy using enol phosphonates.

Abstract

Polymer bound lactam enol phosphonates can be easily generated using simple phenol on polystyrene resin. These stable, storable compounds can be released in a diversity cleavage strategy, using Suzuki cross coupling conditions, to provide 2-arylenamides in moderate to good overall yields.

To cleave or not to cleave: a systemic evaluation of DSS versus DSSO for cross-linking mass spectrometry analysis.

Cross-linking mass spectrometry is a powerful method for structural analysis, but choosing between cleavable and non-cleavable cross-linkers remains challenging. We rigorously compared non-cleavable DSS with cleavable DSSO and found that DSS consistently yields more cross-link identifications from isolated protein complexes to bacterial lysates. The advantage of DSS diminishes as sample complexity increases. At the highest complexity tested-human cell lysate-the trend reverses, with DSSO outperforming DSS. The superior performance of DSS in less complex samples is likely explained by its longer and more flexible spacer arm, which interrogates a spatial volume >40% larger than that of DSSO. For both cross-linkers, the number of identified cross-links decreases as the search space expands, but more steeply for DSS. This sharper decline arises from DSS cross-links producing slightly lower fragment ion coverage, not from the absence of signature ions that could reduce search space. Fragment ion coverage is key to interactome mapping: when coverage reaches 85% or above, identification sensitivity hardly decreases as the search space expands, regardless of the cross-linker used. In summary, we recommend DSS for samples no more complex than bacterial lysates. For interactome mapping of mammalian cells, although DSSO outperforms DSS, neither achieves deep interactome coverage.

Microstructural and tensile properties of elastin-based polypeptides crosslinked with genipin and pyrroloquinoline quinone.

Elastin is an elastomeric, self-assembling extracellular matrix protein with potential for use in biomaterials applications. Here, we compare the microstructural and tensile properties of the elastin-based recombinant polypeptide (EP) EP20-244 crosslinked with either genipin (GP) or pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ). Recombinant EP-based sheets were produced via coacervation and subsequent crosslinking. The micron-scale topography of the GP-crosslinked sheets examined with atomic force microscopy revealed the presence of extensive mottling compared with that of the PQQ-crosslinked sheets, which were comparatively smoother. Confocal microscopy showed that the subsurface porosity in the GP-crosslinked sheets was much more open. GP-crosslinked EP-based sheets exhibited significantly greater tensile strength (P < or = 0.05). Mechanistically, GP appears to yield a higher crosslink density than PQQ, likely due to its capacity to form short-range and long-range crosslinks. In conclusion, GP is able to strongly modulate the microstructural and mechanical properties of elastin-based polypeptide biomaterials forming membranes with mechanical properties similar to native insoluble elastin.

A novel synthetic tissue-adhesive hydrogel using a crosslinkable polymeric micelle.

We prepared a novel tissue-adhesive hydrogel by using a polymeric micelle consisting of an aldehyde-terminated poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(D,L-lactide) (PEG-PLA) block polymer. A Schiff base is chemically formed between the amino groups in a polyallylamine and the aldehyde groups on the surface of polymeric micelles. The hydrogel was formed in approximately 2 s when the polymeric micelle solution and polyallylamine solution are mixed in vitro. The hydrogel was rapidly formed in vivo, and it adhered to a tissue surface. Our novel tissue-adhesive hydrogel creates no risk of infectious contaminations, because it consists of only synthetic materials. Further, PEG and PLA are known to be biocompatible and noncytotoxic. The results obtained in the present study show that a hydrogel prepared by the formation of a Schiff base between aldehyde and amine groups will potentially address the need for novel tissue-adhesive materials.
