Abstract:

Study on interaction mechanism between synthetic receptor and phosphorylated peptides is of great importance for phophopeptide enrichment and early disease-detection. In this study, association between Zn2+-coordination type synthetic receptor and some model phosphorylated peptides was studied, the receptor contains Zn2+-dipicolylamine and guanidiniocarbonyl pyrrole tethered by hydrophobic spacer. Isothermal titration calorimetry was used to elucidate the association thermodynamics. The receptor displayed higher affinity to bis-phosphorylated peptides in comparison with mono-phosphorylated peptides, and the association constant was 10—40 times higher for bis-phosphorylated peptides than that of mono-phosphorylated peptides. Space between the two phosphate groups showed great influence on the association, i.e. association constant remar-kably decreased as the space increased. For mono-phosphorylated peptides, the position of phosphate in the sequence affected the affinity. The results are expected to provide insights into the principle for the design of receptor for peptides.
