Photochemistry in Peptide Synthesis and Bioconjugation The term photochemistry describes a group of chemical transformations initiated by irradiation with light. Photochemical reactions usually occur at room temperature and normal pressure, and mostly do not require additional reagents or catalysts, with the notable exception of some cases where the presence of a photosensitizer is necessary. Therefore, photochemical transformations are usually orthogonal to classical chemical transformations, a characteristic that renders them a valuable tool for chemists.

Consequently, the applications of photochemistry are numerous. Orthogonality is a trait often sought for in protecting groups and linkers, as it allows for their selective cleavage. Furthermore, photocleavage is a convenient method for selective removal of auxiliaries after their function has been served. The typical moiety that is incorporated into protecting groups, linkers and auxiliaries to facilitate light-induced cleavage is an o-nitrobenzyl group, which undergoes a Norrish-type II reaction upon UV-irradiation.

Another common application of photochemistry is the labeling or crosslinking of biomolecules in vitro and in vivo. The latter is of particular interest as a photochemical reaction is one of the few chemical transformations that can be selectively initiated in living cells.

Photo-Crosslinkers for Various Applications Many photo-crosslinkers for photoaffinity labeling rely on benzophenone as the crosslinking agent.

However, these types of crosslinkers usually show low crosslinking yields and require relatively long irradiation times due to slow reaction rates, which may lead to non-specific labeling. Moreover, the irradiation conditions for benzophenones have been shown to lead to cell damage and cell death.

Conversely, diazirine- and perfluorophenyl-based crosslinkers generate a reactive species (carbene and nitrene, respectively) upon relatively short irradiation with UV light. Consequently, diazirine- and perfluorophenyl-crosslinkers are commonly used in molecular biology and biochemistry.

Photo-Crosslinkers Diazirine-bearing crosslinkers are activated at wavelengths that cause little to no damage to cells. In addition to this, trifluoromethylaryl diazirines show a fast initial reaction rate and rapid termination of reaction. Consequently, they exhibit a highly ligand-dependent reactivity, which renders them ideal probes for ligand binding to low-affinity targets, e.g., for probing carbohydrate-lectin interactions. Moreover, the small size of the diazirine group minimizes the risk of impairing or altering the biological activity of a ligand. Our diazirine crosslinkers are functionalized to react with either carboxyl- or amine-reactive ligands, respectively.

Tetrafluorophenyl-azides follow a principle similar to diazirines. Upon irradiation with UV light (ca. 260 nm), a highly stabilized nitrene is formed. Nitrenes are the nitrogen analogs of carbenes (isoelectronic) and react in a comparable fashion. In terms of crosslinking yield and duration of irradiation, they compare favorably to benzophenones. Moreover, the azido group can also undergo classical copper-ca-

or o-nitroveratryl, which can be cleaved at wavelengths > 350 nm. Since wavelengths above 350 nm tend to be unproblematic for biomacromolecules, this technique is especially interesting for cell-based systems.

The liberated OH-group serves as a nucleophile that intramolecularly cleaves ester (or amide) bonds at neutral pH and room temperature by cyclization via a six-membered transition state. This reaction is greatly accelerated since the sterically unfavorable interaction between the methyl group at the 3-position of the phenol core and the two geminal CH3 -groups on the alkyl chain (in β-position to the ester or amide carbonyl group) favor conformations that bring the phenyl-OH-group and the neighboring carbonyl

Photochemistry in Peptide Synthesis and Bioconjugation

Photocages are a class of substances bearing a photosensitive group (= photoremovable protecting group, PPG) keeping a compound in its inactive (= caged) state until being removed by irradiation with light (=photocleavage) of a defined wavelength. Light as external trigger stands out for a variety of reasons, with the main ones being its non-invasiveness, high spatiotemporal resolution, and ease of dosage

Photocaged Amino Acid Building Blocks

Photocages can either be used for synthetic purposes, e.g., during solid-phase peptide synthesis, to introduce another dimension of orthogonality besides, e.g., acid/base labile protecting groups (PGs).

works well for many functional groups present in amino acids.

To reduce photolysis time and to increase yields, the original nitrobenzyl protection has been improved by the introduction of o-nitroveratryl (Nve, oNV, also named 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl [DMNB]), and nitrodibenzofuranyl (NDBF) residues. Besides, we also offer the photosensitive 4-methoxy-7-nitroindoline (MNI) group used to cage carboxylates. Photolysis is achieved by irradiation at 365 nm.

Enlargement of the aromatic system allows to trigger photolysis with longer wavelengths which is especially favorable for in vitro and in vivo applications in cells and organisms due to improved penetration depth and reduced cell damaging.

Photochemistry in Peptide Synthesis and Bioconjugation

Photoswitches are a subtype of molecular switch that undergo a reversible structural change upon irradiation with light to adopt a different configuration. Activation of a molecular switch by light offers several advantages. In addition to being traceless, light can be precisely controlled in its intensity (dosage control) and can be focused with sub-micron accuracy with a high temporal and spatial resolution.

The azobenzene moiety is synthetically accessible via various pathways (Mills reaction, oxidative/reductive coupling, azo coupling), and its photochromic properties can easily be finetuned. The thermodynamically more stable trans isomer adopts an extended planar configuration with a dipole moment close to zero, while the higher energy, metastable cis isomer is more polar and exhibits unfavorable steric interactions.

although the trans isomer can be regenerated 100% by thermal relaxation, full conversion of one or the other isomer by irradiation with visible light is impossible owing to a substantial overlap of the absorption spectra of both isomers.

Photochemistry Native Chemical Ligation (NCL) is one of the most powerful tools for the preparation of complex peptides and small proteins. However, the classical variant of NCL requires an N-terminal cysteine at the ligation site. Iris Biotech presents an innovative auxiliary reagent that can be incorporated in place of a glycine residue.

Since glycine usually occurs several times in a peptide sequence, this approach significantly increases variability regarding the choice of possible ligation sites. In NCL, the auxiliary’s SH-group mimics the action of an N-terminal cysteine’s sulfhydryl group.

Following SPPS, the auxiliary is attached to the N-terminus of a peptide sequence in lieu of a glycine residue. The auxiliary’s Fmoc-protected amino functionality can subsequently be deprotected and functionalized, e.g., with a monodisperse PEG. PEGylation is useful for increasing the solubility of peptide fragments, and for facilitating their purification by precipitation with EtOH/Et 2O. These properties are especially valuable if the peptide’s amino acid side-chains are supposed to be further derivatized postSPPS, for example by enzymatic glycosylation. Following NCL, the auxiliary can be conveniently removed by irradiation with UV-light (10 min in water or water/acetonitrile). This method is particularly useful for the synthesis of sophisticated peptides such as glycopeptides, where cost- and labor-intensive short sequences can be prepared separately, and subsequently conjugated to long fragments synthesized in a standard manner.

ter group for the successful internalization of CPPs. The phenyl moiety of phenylalanine quenches the fluorescence of Aca. Internalization of the CPP containing Phe-Aca leads to proteolytic cleavage of the Phe-Aca bond and thus to fluorescence. However, the peptide bond formation between phenylalanine and Aca is considered to be a difficult coupling and often leads to low coupling yields. For your convenience, Iris Biotech offers Fmoc Phe-Aca as building block suitable for SPPS. This pseudodipeptide can be coupled to the resin of your choice and subsequently elongated to prepare your target CPP.

Photochemistry In addition to Fmoc-L-Phe-Aca-OH, we offer various 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC)-functionalized amino acid derivatives. Like Aca, when bound to a peptide, the AMC-amide fluoresces very weakly and excitation/emission wavelengths are shorter (ca. 330/390 nm). When the free AMC-amine is released by proteolytic cleavage, the fluorescence increases by a factor of approx. 700 and excitation and emission wavelengths are red-shifted. Thus, the low fluorescence of the AMC-amide substrate does not interfere with the fluorometric assay. Besides, Iris Biotech offers dipeptide recognition motifs such as Phe-Arg (ZAA1480 on page 33) or Arg-Arg (ZAA1470 on page 33) as fluorogenic 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin based protease substrates. The acetic acid derivative of AMC, 7-amino-4-methyl coumarin-3-acetic acid (AMCA) emits in the blue region (440-460 nm) upon activation with UV light of 350 nm.

Further fluorescent amino acids include those functionalized with acridine derivatives (2-Acd and 2-Bacd).
