Abstract
An approach to the design of pseudocyclic peptide epitopes is proposed: lipid tails are attached to both C- and N-termini of the peptide through hydrophilic spacers; thanks to two lipid anchors, the conjugate is inserted into the membrane at two sites simultaneously, and the peptide becomes conformation- constrained. Despite the presence of two long lipid regions, the high hydrophilicity of the spacer makes the entire structure water-soluble, which is crucial for integration into living cells.
期刊介绍:
Mendeleev Communications is the journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, launched jointly by the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and the Royal Society of Chemistry (United Kingdom) in 1991. Starting from 1st January 2007, Elsevier is the new publishing partner of Mendeleev Communications.
Mendeleev Communications publishes short communications in chemistry. The journal primarily features papers from the Russian Federation and the other states of the former USSR. However, it also includes papers by authors from other parts of the world. Mendeleev Communications is not a translated journal, but instead is published directly in English. The International Editorial Board is composed of eminent scientists who provide advice on refereeing policy.
