摘要:

蛋白质是细胞内含量丰富的生物分子之一,其参与几乎所有的生化过程。总结了蛋白质中氨基酸残基和游离氨基酸的反应类型,包括半胱氨酸的巯基通过烷基化、不饱和键加成、氟取代等反应类型与探针或试剂反应;赖氨酸的氨基与醛或酯发生缩合反应,还与烯键或炔键发生加成反应,少量可与双官能团底物发生环化反应;精氨酸的胍基更多的是通过与探针形成非共价氢键实现修饰;含羧基侧链的谷氨酸和天冬氨酸与不同类型的底物进行酯化和自由基等反应;酪氨酸的酚羟基和邻位C上的氢可发生自由基及亲核取代反应;含氮杂环的吲哚基(色氨酸)及咪唑基(组氨酸)有不同反应位点,可发生特定类型的反应。同时,对于蛋白质残基修饰在医药与工程领域的相关应用进行了概括。通过以上总结对不同氨基酸的修饰及应用提出不足和对未来的展望。

Abstract:

Proteins are one of the abundant biomolecules in cells, which participate in almost all biochemical processes. The reaction types of amino acid residues and free amino acids (in vivo and/or in vitro) were summarized, such as alkylation, unsaturated bond addition and fluorinated substitution of cysteine sulfhydryl groups with probes or reagents. The amino group of lysine can undergo condensation reaction with aldehydes or esters, and can also reacts with alkene bonds or acetylene bonds as well as a few cases of cyclization with bi-functional substrates. To obtain its modification, the guanidine group of arginine prefers to form non-covalent hydrogen bonds with the probe. Different substrates, such as esterification and free radicals can modify the carboxyl side chains containing amino acids (glutamate and aspartate). The hydroxyl group of tyrosine phenol and the hydrogen at the ortho-site C can undergo free radical and nucleophilic substitution reactions. The indolyl (tryptophan) and imidazolyl (histidine) are typical nitrogen heterocyclic rings that can have specific types of reactions. Based on the above summary, we concluded the shortcomings and prospects of modification of different amino acids.
