Utilizing N-benzyloxycarbonyl- (1a) and N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-(S) -glutamine (1b), a highly efficient and practical method for the synthesis of N2-benzyloxycarbonyl- and N 2-tert-butoxycarbonyl-(S)-2,4-diamino-butanoic acids (2a and 2b) has been developed. Reaction of (S)-glutamine derivatives with iodosobenzene diacetate in a mixture of THF-water at 4°C afforded selectively protected (S)-2,4-diaminobutanoic acids in good yields.

The proteinogenic lysine (Lys) and arginine (Arg) have multiple methylene groups between α-carbon and the terminal charged centre. Why nature did not select ornithine (Orn), 2,4-diamino butyric acid (Dab) and 2,3-diamino propionic acid (Dpr) with fewer methylene groups in the side chain remains an important question! The propensity of aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) model substrates towards self-degradationviaintramolecular lactamization was studied using UV spectroscopy and1H-NMR titration, which showed that Lys and Arg remain stable, and Orn and Dab cyclize to lactam. Hydrophobicity-assisted surface mediated model peptide formation highlighted that the microenvironment and pKaperturbation led to poor regioselectivity (α-aminevs.terminal amine) in Dpr and other non-proteinogenic analogues. The α-selectivity became even poorer in the presence of phosphate, making them ill-suited for peptide synthesis. Superior regioselectivity of the Lys aa-tRNA model substrate suggests that the extra methylene bridge helped nature to separate the microenvironments of the α-amine and ε-amine to synthesize the peptide backbone.

Bimodal PNAs are new PNA constructs designed to bind two different cDNA sequences synchronously to form double duplexes. They are synthesized on solid phase using sequential coupling and click reaction to introduce a second base in each monomer at Cα via alkyltriazole linker. The ternary bimodal PNA:DNA complexes show stability higher than that of individual duplexes. Bimodal PNAs are appropriate to create higher-order fused nucleic acid assemblies.
