Peptides were synthesized on a PS3 automated peptide synthesizer (Protein Technologies, MA) using standard 9-fluorenylmethoxy-carbonyl (Fmoc) solid phase synthesis protocols and Fmoc-protected amino acids from either Bachem Americas (Torrence, CA) or AnaSpec (Fremont, CA). Before use, all peptide samples were further purified by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and verified by mass spectrometry. All peptide samples used in the pH titration measurements were prepared by dissolving lyophilized peptides into either acidic (25 mM H3PO4) or basic (25 mM NaOH) Millipore water, and the final concentration of each sample (20 μM) was determined optically using the absorbance of PheCN at 280 nm and a molar extinction coefficient of 850 M−1 cm−1 [7 (link)].

The Z34C and Trp-Z34C peptides were synthesized on a Liberty Blue microwave peptide synthesizer (CEM Corporation, NC) and a PS3 automated peptide synthesizer (Protein Technologies, MA), respectively, using Fmoc-protocols. They were then compartment purified by reverse-phase chromatography, and verified by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectroscopy. For each peptide, the purified sample was dissolved in a 20% DMSO/water solution and stirred overnight, allowing oxidation of the thiol groups to form a disulfide bond. The oxidized sample was subject to a second round of purification and the peptide product was further verified by MALDI. Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) removal and H-D exchange for IR measurements were achieved by multiple rounds of lyophilization in acidic D2O solution. Peptide samples used in the experiments were prepared by dissolving an appropriate amount of lyophilized peptide in a 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer in D2O and the final pH of the solution was 7.

PNA-loaded Porous Silica Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cysteine-modified anti-miR122 PNA (NH2-ACA AAC ACC ATT GTC ACA CTC CA-cys-COOH) was synthesized from Rink Amide LL resin (EMD Millipore) using fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl chloride (Fmoc) solid phase chemistry within a PS3 automated peptide synthesizer (Protein Technologies). Note that all PNA used in this study was modified by addition of a single cysteine at the C-terminus of the PNA. This was done to promote crosslinking of PNA following loading into PSNPs and reduce PNA diffusion from pores. PNA was purified by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography.
PNA was loaded into uncoated and composite PSNPs by non-covalent physical adsorption. Composite PSNPs were impregnated with PNA prior to polymer coating. PNA dissolved in deionized H2O was added to a solution of oxidized PSNPs in H2O at a 1:2 PNA:PSNP weight ratio. The PNA/PSNP solution was briefly ultrasonicated and then mixed on a shaker at room temperature for 3 hours. Finally, PNA-loaded PSNPs were frozen at −80°C and lyophilized overnight. Excess PNA was purified from drug loaded PSNPs by resuspending particles in H2O, centrifuging particles at 15k × g for 15 min, then removing the supernatant.

Automated Peptide Synthesis and Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peptides were synthesized using a PS3 automated peptide synthesizer (Protein Technologies, Phoenix, AZ) via standard Fmoc/tbu solid-phase peptide synthesis unless noted in Table 1. Manual coupling of amino acids was performed by incubating the peptide resin in a solution of amino acid (4 eq.) and HCTU (3.9 eq.) in 0.4 M N-methylmorpholine in DMF for 3 h. Fmoc deprotection was performed by two 30-min incubations in 20% (v/v) piperidine in DMF. Biotinylated resin was prepared from NovaPEG rink amide resin as reported previously27 (link) and was used for the synthesis of all biotinylated peptides. Peptides were cleaved off the resin by incubating in a cleavage cocktail containing TFA/DMB/TIPS/EDT (90:5:2.5:2.5 v/v/v/v) for 2.5 h followed by double precipitation in cold ether. EDT was included in the cleavage cocktail only for peptides containing a free cysteine after cleavage. The crude peptides were purified by RP-HPLC (Agilent 1200, Santa Clara, CA) to 95% purity using a Phenomenex Fusion-RP C18 semi-preparative column (Torrance, CA) at the flow rate of 5 mL/min with H2O (0.1% TFA) and ACN (0.1% TFA) as a mobile phase. Molecular weights of the purified peptides were confirmed by MALDI-ToF Mass Spectrometry (MS).

All peptide analogs of APP were synthesized using standard Fmoc chemistry and solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) on a PS3 automated peptide synthesizer (Protein Technologies Inc., Tucson, AZ). The amino acid couplings on the synthesizer were done using a 4-fold excess of amino acids, HOBt, and HCTU, in the presence of 0.4 MN-methylmorpholine (NMM) in DMF. The Fmoc protecting group was removed using 20% piperidine in DMF. For glycopeptides, at the desired site of glycosylation, the Fmoc-protected pentafluorophenyl ester of Ser-O-GalNAc 1) and/or Thr-O-GalNAc 2) was coupled manually using a 1.5-fold excess, in the presence of DIPEA (pH 8) for 16 h. After coupling was confirmed using the ninhydrin test, the remainder of the peptide’s amino acid sequence was completed on the PS3. All the (glyco)peptides were cleaved from the resin using a TFA/thioanisole/water mixture in 95:2.5:2.5 ratio for 3 h, followed by precipitation in cold methyl-tert-butyl-ether (MTBE) to precipitate the crude (glyco)peptide. For glycopeptides, the acetylated crude was deprotected using 0.01 M NaOH solution for 15 min to remove all the O-acetyl groups on the glycan moiety attached to the peptide sequence. Lastly, the crude was lyophilized to yield the final crude deacetylated glycopeptide or its nonglycosylated counterpart.

Using an automated PS3 peptide synthesizer (Protein Technologies), the following peptides were synthesized on a solid support (rink amide MBHA resin (100–200 mesh), EMD Millipore) from FMOC protected (L) amino acids (EMD Millipore) and an FMOC protected 6-aminohexanoic acid (Ahx) spacer (AnaSpec): AhxFKFLAhxMR-PEIWIAQELRRIGDEFNAY (CathBIM), FLAhxMRPEI-WIAQELRRIGvDEFNAY (FLAhxBIM), and AhxFKFLAhx-LRMREIIDAYERQFGEPNIWA (CathScrBIM). For the synthesis of corresponding methacrylamido-peptide monomers, the amino termini of the peptides were deprotected and functionalized with N-succinimidyl methacrylate (TCI America), while still linked to the resin. Two peptide monomers were synthesized: MaCathBIM and MaCathScrBIM. The peptides/monomers were deprotected/cleaved from the resin by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid/triisopropylsilane/H2O (9.5:2.5:2.5, v/v/v) for 4 h and precipitated in cold ether. Crude peptides/monomers were purified by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) on a Jupiter 5 μm C18 300 Å column (Phenomenx) with an Agilent 1260 HPLC. Ion trap mass spectrometry with electrospray (Bruker Esquire) was used to confirm the molecular weights of the purified products.

Once we obtained the open reading frame of LTB, we picked the putative mature peptide sequence of LTB (GLFSVVKGVLKGVGKNVSGSLLDQLKCKISGGC) for BLAST comparison (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi, BLASTP 2.9.0+, Database nr_v5). The structural similarity of LFB was used for classification into existing peptide families or a structurally-novel peptide family. We also synthesized LFB using an automated PS3 peptide synthesizer (Protein Technologies, Woburn, MA, USA). After synthesis, synthesized replicates of LFB were further purified by RP-HPLC and confirmed its authenticity by MALDI-TOF MS. A sample of this fraction was subjected to MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry using a Perseptive Biosystems Voyager DE mass spectrometer (Applied Biosystems, Warrington, UK) in positive detection mode using α-cyanohydroxycinnamic acid as matrix.
