  • Publication number: 20190040104
    Abstract: The current invention pertains to stabilized peptoids or peptoid-peptide hybrids. The peptoids or peptoid-peptide hybrids are stabilized by side chain-side to side chain linkages and/or backbone cyclization. The current invention also provides a positional library scanning method for identification of peptoids or peptoid-peptide hybrids having a desired biological activity.

  • Publication number: 20190040107
    Abstract: Provided are astexin-1, astexin-2 and astexin-3 lasso peptides, which are based on sequences identified in Asticcacaulis excentricus, and methods of making and using same. Astexin-1 is highly polar, in contrast to many lasso peptides that are primarily hydrophobic, and has modest antimicrobial activity against Caulobacter crescentus, a bacterium related to Asticcacaulis excentricus. The solution structure of astexin-1 was determined, revealing a unique topology that is stabilized by hydrogen bonding between segments of the peptide. Astexins-2 and -3 are intracellular lasso peptides.
