Accelerating chemical reactions by molecular sledding

Abstract

The speed-up of covalent bond formation was achieved between a sulfhydryl group and a 2-bromopropionic acid derivative by utilizing sliding peptide-modified substrates. Moreover, a new type of DNA cleaving reagent was developed, consisting of pVIc covalently coupled to verteporfin. This peptide–porphyrin conjugate allowed targeting of DNA and resulted in increased photodegradation of double-stranded nucleic acids.
