Biocompatible peptide stapling

November 9, 2020 / Christoph Nitsche / Leave a comment

Congratulations to Richard who just published a new biocompatible strategy for peptide stapling in Chemical Science. The approach can be used to constrain peptides directly in biochemical assays and thus identify promising ligands for drug discovery.

Check out our latest article published in ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters in close collaboration with the Wolber and Rademann laboratories in Berlin. For the first time, we demonstrate that small molecules can target the active sites of Zika, West Nile and dengue virus proteases with extraordinarily high affinities.

Congratulations to Saan, who published an article in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters about the latest prospects of protease inhibitors as antiviral agents to combat infections with the Zika virus. Our article is featured on the cover of the latest issue.

Biocompatible Peptide Macrocyclisation Generates Stable Protease Inhibitors

June 13, 2019 / Christoph Nitsche / Leave a comment

Check out our latest research article published in Organic Letters about a novel strategy to spontaneously cyclise peptides under physiological conditions. A substrate peptide of the Zika virus protease cyclised in this way produced an inhibitor of remarkable affinity and stability.
