Abstract: A method for improving a bio-coupling efficiency between a protein and a nucleic acid based on an ?-helix handle includes the following steps. First, the handle carrying the non-natural amino acid (H-tag) is designed. Then, a recombinant expression plasmid encoding a fusion protein containing the H-tag and the protein to be tested is constructed. Subsequently, the fusion recombinant protein containing the non-natural amino acid in the H-tag is expressed and purified. Finally, the non-natural amino acid in the H-tag-fused protein and the coupling group on the nucleic acid substrate are efficiently connected by click chemistry. Thea-helix handle is used to provide a controllable reaction condition on the protein surface for the non-natural amino acid, avoiding the complex structure, charge and polar nanoenvironment around the surface of the protein to be tested.

The method is: the compound of formula I, a divalent palladium catalyst, and a silver salt undergoing an intramolecular arylation in a solvent under heating and stirring to construct a cyclic peptide, to generate the compound of formula II, in which the arylation sites are diverse, and can be extended to the side chain ?-position methyl or methylene of the majority hydrophobic amino acids to perform intramolecular arylation, thus overcoming the previous defect of the restriction of the types of selectable amino acids, and effectively constructing a novel aromatic ring-supported cyclic peptide compound. The aromatic ring support structure can form a novel 3D structure similar to a natural product, and provide a very favorable support for the subsequent construction of a cyclic peptide molecular library and high-throughput drug screening.
