1. Photoinduced Processes in Lysine-Tryptophan-Lysine Tripeptide with L and D Tryptophan
Aleksandra A Ageeva, Roman S Lukyanov, Sofia O Martyanova, Ilya M Magin, Alexander I Kruppa, Nikolay E Polyakov, Victor F Plyusnin, Alexander B Doktorov, Tatyana V Leshina Int J Mol Sci. 2023 Feb 7;24(4):3331. doi: 10.3390/ijms24043331.
Optical isomers of short peptide Lysine-Tryptophan-Lysine (Lys-{L/D-Trp}-Lys) and Lys-Trp-Lys with an acetate counter-ion were used to study photoinduced intramolecular and intermolecular processes of interest in photobiology. A comparison of L- and D-amino acid reactivity is also the focus of scientists' attention in various specialties because today, the presence of amyloid proteins with D-amino acids in the human brain is considered one of the leading causes of Alzheimer's disease. Since aggregated amyloids, mainly Aβ42, are highly disordered peptides that cannot be studied with traditional NMR and X-ray techniques, it is trending to explore the reasons for differences between L- and D-amino acids using short peptides, as in our article. Using NMR, chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) and fluorescence techniques allowed us to detect the influence of tryptophan (Trp) optical configuration on the peptides fluorescence quantum yields, bimolecular quenching rates of Trp excited state, and the photocleavage products formation. Thus, compared with the D-analog, the L-isomer shows a greater Trp excited state quenching efficiency with the electron transfer (ET) mechanism. There are experimental confirmations of the hypothesis about photoinduced ET between Trp and the CONH peptide bond, as well as between Trp and another amide group.
2. Enzymatic Late-Stage Halogenation of Peptides

The late-stage site-selective derivatisation of peptides has many potential applications in structure-activity relationship studies and postsynthetic modification or conjugation of bioactive compounds. The development of orthogonal methods for C-H functionalisation is crucial for such peptide derivatisation. Among them, biocatalytic methods are increasingly attracting attention. Tryptophan halogenases emerged as valuable catalysts to functionalise tryptophan (Trp), while direct enzyme-catalysed halogenation of synthetic peptides is yet unprecedented. Here, it is reported that the Trp 6-halogenase Thal accepts a wide range of amides and peptides containing a Trp moiety. Increasing the sequence length and reaction optimisation made bromination of pentapeptides feasible with good turnovers and a broad sequence scope, while regioselectivity turned out to be sequence dependent. Comparison of X-ray single crystal structures of Thal in complex with d-Trp and a dipeptide revealed a significantly altered binding mode for the peptide. The viability of this bioorthogonal approach was exemplified by halogenation of a cyclic RGD peptide.
3. Monascuslactams A-D, cytotoxic γ-lactams from marine fungus Monascus albidus BB3
Qi Guo, Xiao-Ming Dai, Wen-Jian Lan, Liu-Ping Chen, Chi-Keung Lam, Gong-Kan Feng, Rong Deng, Xiao-Feng Zhu, Hou-Jin Li Nat Prod Res. 2022 May;36(10):2534-2541. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2021.1915308. Epub 2021 May 5.
Amino acid-directed strategy becomes an efficient way to explore the alkaloids' biosynthetic potential of marine fungi. The metabolites of marine fungus Monascus albidus BB3 were regulated obviously when cultured in GPY medium supplemented with L-tryptophan, L-phenylalanine, D,L-methionine, L-threonine, L-lysine, L-serine and L-valine. Four new γ-lactams, monascuslactams A-D (1-4), together with two known compounds pulchellalactam (5) and O-acetylperlolyrine (6) were obtained. Their structures were determined by comprehensive analysis on the 1 D and 2 D NMR, HRESIMS, UV and IR data, and their absolute configurations were assigned by the experimental and calculated ECD data analysis. Compounds 3, 4 and 6 showed moderate cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines SUNE1, HepG2, QGY7701, GLC82, HCT116 and MDA-MB-231.
