چکیده
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I or somatomedin C) is a serum polypeptide with three intramolecular disulfide bonds. In the course of synthesis by the recombinant DNA method, three disulfide bond isomers, all of which have Cys18-Cys61 with three combinations of two disulfide bonds formed by Cys6, Cys47, Cys48 and Cys52, were identified. Natural type, isomer II, was proved to have a Cys6-Cys48, Cys18-Cys61, Cys47-Cys52 disulfide bond system. Now, the fourth isomer, isomer V which doesn't have Cys18-Cys61 disulfide, has been isolated, and its novel disulfide bond linkage system was identified by a chemical synthetic method. The supposed conformation constrained in 3D structure for isomer V would be discussed for its biological activity.

Background and purpose: 1,2 diarylethylene or stilbenes are hydrocarbon derivatives with two phenyl group bonded to the double bond carbons. There are two isomers of stilbenes that Z-isomer is less stable than E-isomer. However, the Z-isomer is stronger than E-isomer as potent cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. E and Z isomers are interconverted through photochemical irradiation. In this resea...
متن کاملEngineered salt-insensitive alpha-defensins with end-to-end circularized structures.
We designed a retro-isomer and seven circularized "beta-tile" peptide analogs of a typical rabbit alpha-defensin, NP-1. The analogs retained defensin-like architecture after the characteristic end-to-end, Cys(3,31) (C I:C VI), alpha-defensin disulfide bond was replaced by a backbone peptide bond. The retro-isomer of NP-1 was as active as the parent compound, suggesting that overall topology and...

Two possible isomers of some 1,3-diaryl-H-benzo[f]chromene have been studied using density functional theory. Structures of E1 and E2 isomers were optimized at the B3LYP and MP2 levels with different basis sets. The total electronic energies show that E2 isomer is about 3-5 kcal/mol more stable than E1 isomer and this energy difference is attributed to the planarity of heterocyclic ring and mor...
