Lysine is an essential amino acid, abundant in proteins, and plays a critical role in many biological processes. In this study, we investigated aldehydes for imine-based chemistries and their reactivity profiles using a lysine-surrogate. By monitoring reactions of various aldehydes and salicylaldehydes over time, we determined dissociation constants (KD) for each warhead, reflecting the binding affinity towards the surrogate substrate. Strikingly, our data revealed remarkable differences in affinity depending on the substitution of the warheads. Additionally, we analyzed the kinetic profile of selected aldehydes and salicylaldehydes, which revealed significant disparity in their reaction kinetics. Aldehydes reacted quickly, reaching equilibrium rapidly, whereas salicylaldehydes exhibited considerably slower reaction times, in some cases requiring several hours to reach equilibrium. These differences emphasize how the nature of the warhead structure influences the kinetics of covalent binding to lysine residues. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into the application of reversible covalency to target lysines with reactive warheads that can further inspire development of innovative chemical modifications for drug discovery and chemical biology.</p>","PeriodicalId":9957,"journal":{"name":"Chimia","volume":"79 3","pages":"152-157"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143742476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Glycans have a critical impact on health and disease, yet the tools to study them have trailed behind proteins and nucleic acids. O-GalNAc glycosylation involves the addition of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to protein substrates. Dysregulation of O-GalNAc glycosylation is implicated in many pathologies such as cancer. Studying O-GalNAc glycosylation is complicated by the lack of a consensus sequence for initiation and the complex interdependence between a large family of 20 GalNAc transferases (GalNAc-Ts) in human cells. These issues necessitate precise methods of interrogating enzyme function. Herein, we discuss our own advances into the generation of precision tools to study O-GalNAc glycosylation and other glycosylation types. We discuss the use of bump-and-hole engineering to illuminate the roles of individual GalNAc-Ts.

In an environment of uncontrolled, fluctuating temperatures and a lack of repeated calibration, sensor reliability can rapidly deteriorate the accuracy. Today, many sensing concepts are explored for home use or as wearable sensors, and it is paramount to understand and optimize the chemistry for reliable measurements to become possible. This review focuses on the well-established class of potentiometric sensors, mostly known for the measurement of pH, with a range of electrolytes, and how conceptual advances can be used to make them as robust and sensitive as possible. While drawing from recent work of the group at the University of Geneva, the importance of symmetry is stressed to minimize the influence of temperature. The development of self-powered sensing systems that no longer require a battery is explained.
