Abstract

Cyclic peptide-based therapeutics have a promising growth forecast that justifies the development of microfluidic systems dedicated to their production, in phase with the actual transitioning toward continuous flow and microfluidic technologies for pharmaceutical production. The application of the most popular method for peptide cyclization in water, i.e., native chemical ligation, under microfluidic conditions is still unexplored. Herein, we report a general strategy for fast and efficient peptide cyclization using native chemical ligation under homogeneous microfluidic conditions. The strategy relies on a multistep sequence that concatenates the formation of highly reactive S-(2-((2-sulfanylethyl)amino)ethyl) peptidyl thioesters from stable peptide amide precursors with an intramolecular ligation step. With very fast ligation rates (<5 min), even for the most difficult junctions (including threonine, valine, isoleucine, or proline), this technology opens the door toward the scale-independent, expedient preparation of bioactive macrocyclic peptides.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
