    Abstract Protein glycation is a disease associated, non-enzymatic, posttranslational modification generated by endogenous dicarbonyl metabolites. Currently, there is a lack of chemical tools capable of studying protein adducts caused by this class of reactive species. Here, we report a chemical biology platform, termed T-DiP (targetable-dicarbonyl precursor), that releases a physiologically relevant dose of bio-orthogonally functionalized dicarbonyl probe upon irradiation with 365 nm light. This approach enables protein glycation to be controlled with spatiotemporal precision within live cells and expands the chemical toolbox needed to elucidate the roles of glycated proteins across various pathologies.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by chronic neurodegeneration and the insidious accumulation of senile plaques comprised of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide. An important goal in AD research is to characterize the structural basis for how Aβ aggregates exert their noxious effects on neurons. We describe herein synthetic steps to incorporate a light-controlled β-turn mimetic, 3-(3-aminomethylphenylazo)-phenylacetic acid (AMPP), into the backbone of a putative turn region within Aβ. AMPP adopts a rigid β-hairpin turn when azobenzene is in the cis conformation, and can adopt an extended "β-arc" turn in the trans-azobenzene conformation. The long lifetimes of these conformationally stable isomers permit detailed biochemical analyses that help to clarify the controversial role played by these two types of turns during the toxic misfolding pathway of Aβ. Methods to photo-nucleate the cis- or trans-AMPP isomeric turns in aqueous buffer are also described. Finally, we detail selected techniques to characterize the Aβ aggregates derived from these photoisomerized variants.

    Abstract Selective death of midbrain dopaminergic neurons is a hallmark pathology of Parkinson's disease (PD), but the molecular mechanisms that initiate the cascade of events resulting in neurodegeneration in PD remain unclear. Compelling evidence suggests that dysregulation of dopamine (DA) induces neuronal stress and damage responses that are operative processes in striatal degeneration preceding PD-like symptoms. Improper DA sequestration to vesicles raises cytosolic DA levels, which is rapidly converted into electrophilic dopaquinone species (DQs) that react readily with protein nucleophiles forming covalent modifications that alter the native structure and function of proteins. These so-called DA-protein adducts (DPAs) have been reported to play a role in neurotoxicity, and their abundance with respect to neurodegeneration has been linked to clinical and pathological features of PD that suggest that they play a causal role in PD pathogenesis. Therefore, characterizing DPAs is a critical first step in understanding the susceptibility of midbrain dopaminergic neurons during PD. To help achieve this goal, we report here a novel DA-mimetic (DA

    Abstract The misfolding and subsequent aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins is a classic pathological hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. Aggregates of the α-synuclein protein (αS) are implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis, and naturally occurring autoantibodies to these aggregates are proposed to be potential early-stage biomarkers to facilitate the diagnosis of PD. However, upon misfolding, αS forms a multitude of quaternary structures of varying functions that are unstable

    Abstract Amyloid-β oligomers (AβOs) self-assemble into polymorphic species with diverse biological activities that are implicated causally to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Synaptotoxicity of AβO species is dependent on their quaternary structure, however, low-abundance and environmental sensitivity of AβOs in vivo have impeded a thorough assessment of structure-function relationships. We developed a simple biochemical assay to quantify the relative abundance and morphology of cross-linked AβOs. We compared oligomers derived from synthetic Aβ40 (wild-type (WT) Aβ40) and a recombinant source, called Aβ(M1-40). Both peptides assemble into oligomers with common sizes and morphology, however, the predominant quaternary structures of Aβ(M1-40) oligomeric states were more diverse in terms of dispersity and morphology. We identified self-assembly conditions that stabilize high-molecular weight oligomers of Aβ(M1-40) with apparent molecular weights greater than 36 kDa. Given that mixtures of AβOs derived from both peptides have been shown to be potent neurotoxins that disrupt long-term potentiation, we anticipate that the diverse quaternary structures reported for Aβ(M1-40) oligomers using the assays reported here will facilitate research efforts aimed at isolating and identifying common toxic species that contribute to synaptic dysfunction.

    Abstract Methods to monitor and manipulate the immune system are of enormous clinical interest. For example, the development of vaccines represents one of the earliest and greatest accomplishments of the biomedical research enterprise. More recently, drugs capable of "reawakening" the immune system to cancer have generated enormous excitement. But, much remains to be done. All drugs available today that manipulate the immune system cannot distinguish between "good" and "bad" immune responses and thus drive general and systemic immune suppression or activation. Indeed, with the notable exception of vaccines, our ability to monitor and manipulate antigen-specific immune responses is in its infancy. Achieving this finer level of control would be highly desirable. For example, it might allow the pharmacological editing of pathogenic immune responses without restricting the ability of the immune system to defend against infection. On the diagnostic side, a method to comprehensively monitor the circulating, antigen-specific antibody population could provide a treasure trove of clinically useful biomarkers, since many diseases expose the immune system to characteristic molecules that are deemed foreign and elicit the production of antibodies against them. This Perspective will discuss the state-of-the-art of this area with a focus on what we consider seminal opportunities for the chemistry community to contribute to this important field.
