With the advent of reversible covalent chemistry the study of the interplay between covalent bond formation and noncovalent interactions has become increasingly relevant. Here we report that the interplay between reversible disulfide chemistry and self-assembly can give rise either to molecular diversity, i.e., the emergence of a unprecedentedly large range of macrocycles or to molecular specificity, i.e., the autocatalytic emergence of a single species. The two phenomena are the result of two different modes of self-assembly, demonstrating that control over self-assembly pathways can enable control over covalent bond formation.

Paragraph 00476, (2021/05/21)
The present invention relates to novel compounds that modulate cellular glucose uptake by affecting various targets, including, but not limited to those related to glycolysis and known transporters/co-transporters of the GLUT family. The compounds according to the invention are useful for treating cancer such as: neuroendrocrine neoplasms, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), renal cell carcinoma, paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, pituitary adenoma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer sarcoma, head and neck cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer and other cancers that rely on high levels of glycolysis for survival and proliferation; as well as in treating of autoimmune diseases, inflammation, infectious diseases, and metabolic diseases.

The development of site-selective chemistry targeting the canonical amino acids enables the controlled installation of desired functionalities into native peptides and proteins. Such techniques facilitate the development of polypeptide conjugates to advance therapeutics, diagnostics, and fundamental science. We report a versatile and selective method to functionalize peptides and proteins through free-radical-mediated dechalcogenation. By exploiting phosphine-induced homolysis of the C?Se and C?S bonds of selenocysteine and cysteine, respectively, we demonstrate the site-selective installation of groups appended to a persistent radical trap. The reaction is rapid, operationally simple, and chemoselective. The resulting aminooxy linker is stable under a variety of conditions and selectively cleavable in the presence of a low-oxidation-state transition metal. We have explored the full scope of this reaction using complex peptide systems and a recombinantly expressed protein.
