Cheng, G., Krasel, C., Zhou, H. G., Chappell, D. and Hamley, I. W. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4549-0926 (2011) Genetic expression of an amyloid peptide fragment and analysis of formylated products. Organic Letters, 13 (10). pp. 2572-2575. ISSN 1523-7060 doi: 10.1021/ol1028145

Abstract/Summary

The model amyloid peptide AAKLVFF was expressed as a His-tagged fusion protein with the immunoglobulin-binding domain B1 of streptococcal protein G (GB1), a small (56 residues), stable, single-domain protein. It is shown that expression of this model amyloid peptide is possible and is not hindered by aggregation. Formylation side reactions during the CNBr cleavage are investigated via synthesis of selectively formylated peptides.
