Peptide Lock

All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used without further purification unless otherwise stated. Solvents were employed as HPLC-grade and anhydrous solvents were purchased in Sure/Seal bottles with inert atmosphere or dried using a MBRAUN MB SPS-800 Solvent Purification System. Reactions were carried out under argon atmosphere and with flame dried glassware unless otherwise stated. Organic reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) whenever possible and flash chromatography (FC) was carried out on Silica gel 60 (230-400 mesh). NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance III HD system connected to a 400 MHz Bruker Ascend magnet. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm and corrected according to the solvent residual peak. [1] Coupling constants (J ) are reported in Hz. Mass spectra of small molecules were obtained on a Bruker Maxis Impact (ESI-TOF) using a Dionex Ultimate 3000 RS (HPLC) as interface. Melting points were obtained on a B?ÜCHI Melting Point B-540 system and reported uncorrected. H2O used for DNA experiments was purified on a Milli-Q Biocel system by Millipore, and abbreviated as MQ. DNA oligonucleotides were synthesised in house on a BioAutomation MerMade-12 automated oligonucleotide synthesiser using reagents, standard and special phosphoramidites, and preloaded 1000 Å CPG columns purchased from BioAutomation in Texas. Synthesized oligonucleotides were cleaved from the solid-support either using 33% ammonium hydroxide solution or AMA (Ammonium hydroxide/aqueous methylamine 1:1 v/v). BioAutomation MerMade-12 automated oligonucleotide synthesiser was washed with dry solvents (DCM, DMSO, MeCN) before each experiment in order to keep the pipes clean and dry. All DNA concentrations were determined using a Nanodrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer. Mass spectra of oligonucleotides were either obtained on a Bruker Daltonics Auto ex Speed MALDI-TOF MS spectrometer using AnchorChip target plates, or on a Shimadzu LCMS-2020EV connected to a Shimadzu Prominence RP-UPLC system equipped with a Phenomenex Gemini 3u C18, 100 mm x 4.6 mm column and running a gradient of MeOH in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexauoroisopropanol/triethylamine buffer (HFIP, 100 mM / TEA, 8 mM). All LCMS measurements are performed in linear negative mode. The matrix used for MALDI-TOF MS was 90% 3-hydroxypicolinic acid (50 mg/mL) in H2O/MeCN 1:1 and 10% diammonium citrate (50 mg/mL) in H2O. All MALDI experiments were performed in linear negative mode unless otherwise stated. Dynamic light scattering experiments were performed on a Zetasizer Nanoseries ZS, using the provided Zetasizer software and cuvettes. For gel analysis, a Typhoon Trio with the provided Variable Mode Imager software were used.

Automated Oligonucleotide Synthesis

Peptide Coupling - peptide activation and DNA activation

For peptide coupling with phosphoramidite activated DNA, the peptide (5.5 mg) was dissolved in anhydrous DMSO (1 mL). For the peptide pre activation experiment, the peptide (5.1 mg, 6.5 μmol, 1 eq.) was dissolved in DMSO (1 mL) to which N,N-diisopropylchlorophosphoramidite in DCM (0.25 mL 35 mM, 7.8 μmol, 1.2 eq.) and DIPEA in DCM (0.25 mL 31 mM, 7.8 μmol, 1.2 eq.) was added. The automated oligonucleotide synthesiser was setup to the following sequence:

3'-AAGTGGCGTCTATATCCAGAAATCG-peptide

Mermade setup; phosphoramidite activated peptide The activated peptide (approx. 0.140 mL) (in 2 steps) was automatically added onto the column. Hereafter wash (1x), capping (1x), wash (1x), oxidize, wash (2x) detritylation (1x) steps were performed, likewise automatically.

Mermade setup: phosphoramidite activated DNA For coupling of peptide with phosphoramidite activated DNA, DIPEA and phosphoramidite in DCM (approx. 0.375 mL each, added in 5 steps of 30 sec.), wash (3x), peptide (approx. 0.140 mL ) was added to the column, afterwards washing (2x), oxidise (1x), wash (2x) and detritylation (1x) finishing with a wash (1x).


DNA activated coupling and peptide activated coupling solid phase was incubated with NH4OH (1 mL) for 2 hours at 65 °C. NH4OH was removed in vacuo and the pellet was dissolved in MilliQ (0.5 mL), spun/vortexed 3 times and purified through 3k spinfiltration. MALDI-TOF and LCMS analysis was performed. The calculated mass is for the truncated DNA (AAGTGGCGTCTATATCCAGAAATCG).

DNA activated Peptide Coupling - click reaction with small organic molecule

The sequence setup on the automated oligonucleotide was:

3'-AAGTGGCGTCTATATCCAGAAATCG-peptide-CGTACTATTCGACTCTCAAG-5'

For the click reaction two conditions were used. A solution of 10 mM 2- (2-(2-azidoethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol, 2 mM ascorbate, 500 μM TBTA and 100 μM CuSO4·5H2O was prepared in a 1:1:0.6 tBuOH:MQ:DMSO and 1:0.3 MQ:DMSO mixture respectively. Different approaches were attempted in order to achieve the coupling.

First approach the mixture was injected onto the column over the course of 2.5 hours. But according to the runlog of the automated olignucleotide synthesiser 3 mL of the above mentioned mixtures was used. Due to the viscosity of DMSO a smooth flow could not be obtained, and only 1 mL of mixture was injection onto column according to visual approximations. Second approach the column was removed from the automated oligonucleotide synthesis machine after the initial strand synthesis had finished, incubated with click reaction mixture o.n. and added onto the column again. Third approach the column was removed from the automated oligonucleotide synthesis machine after the initial strand synthesis had finished, with a syringe a flow of click reaction mixture was forced through the coloum several times a day before the column was placed onto the machine for further oligonucleotide synthesis.

The synthesis of the remaining oligonucleotides was initiated with 3 washes and a deblock step.


Mermade Setup; For coupling of peptide with phosphoramidite activated DNA, DIPEA and phosphoramidite in DCM (approx. 0.375 mL each, added in 5 steps over 30 sec.), wash (3x), peptide (approx. 0.140 mL ) was added to the column, afterwards washing (2x), oxidise (1x), wash (2x) and detritylation (1x) finishing with a wash (1x). DNA activated coupling and peptide activated coupling CPG coloums were incubated with NH4OH (1 mL) for 2 hours at 65 °C. NH4OH was removed in vacuo and the pellet was dissolved in MQ (0.5 mL), spun/vortexed 3 times and purified through 3k spinfiltration.
