IV ABSTRACT SYNTHESIS OF PEPTIDES WITH HYDROXAMIC ACID SIDE CHAIN APPENDAGES Yingchuan Susan Sun April 14, 2003 Chapter 1 detailed the synthesis method of hydroxamate peptides derivatives of pentapeptide Ac-PHSXX'-N-NH2 by solid phase hydroxamate peptide synthesis method. The glutamic acid / aspartic acid side chain was modified to hydroxamic acid by on resin N-C coupling. The hydroxamate benzyl protecting group was removed during HF cleavage. In Chapter 2 a novel multiple hydroxamic acid peptide siderophore was prepared and the metal binding activity of these peptides was studied by ESI-MS and MS/MS. Siderophore peptide Ac-GlYI-Glu2(NHOH)-D-Pro3-GlY4-Glus(NHOH)-D-Pr06-NH2 was found to have significant preference to Fe(IH) over Zn(H) and Ni(II), while the natural peptide analogue Ac-GlYI-Glu2-D-Pro3-GlY4-Glus-D-Pro6-NH2 did not show any obvious preference in these metal ions. The study of these multi hydroxamate ligands metal coordination revealed that the C-terminal binding site (Glus(NHOH)) has the stronger chelation capability than the N terminal (Glu2(NHOH)) metal binding site and the amide bonds between glutamic acid and proline were identified as the most fragile bonds by MS/MS study. v TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS......... .................. ............... .............. ...... ....
