(2015-04)
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that affects 35 million people worldwide and is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. AD is characterized by neurofibrillary tangles and ...
Installation of Metal-Binding Functionality at Lysine Residues via Azide-Alkyne "Click Chemistry"
(2015-04-29)
A novel non-natural amino acid designed to bind divalent metal ions, dubbed Lys(PYRIT), was prepared in a “click reaction” by treating Fmoc-Lys(N3)-OH with 2-ethynylpyridine and Cu(I). It was incorporated into a 12-residue ...
