Biosynthesis and Stability of Coiled-Coil Peptides Containing (2S,4R)-5,5,5-Trifluoroleucine and (2S,4S)-5,5,5-Trifluoroleucine
Abstract
We report the effects of 5,5,5-trifluoroleucine (TFL) stereochemistry on coiled-coil peptide biosynthesis and stability. We demonstrate that two diastereoisomers of TFL are activated and incorporated into peptides expressed in E. coli. Coiled-coil homodimers of these peptides exhibited increased stability. An equimolar mixture of the two fluorinated peptides formed a heterodimer of modestly enhanced thermal stability relative to the homodimers.
