- HEMIAMINAL-TAG FOR PROTEIN LABELING AND PURIFICATION
-
The invention pertains to the synthesis, isolation, and characterization of hemiaminal for selective labeling of peptides, proteins, antibodies, and organic fragments with -C(=0) CH2NH2 and derivatives with -CH2NH2 group over -C(=0) CHRNH2 group (where R≠H). The invention also pertains to the method of single-site immobilization of proteins through N-terminus Gly on solid phase. The invention includes late-stage tagging of N-terminus Gly with an affinity tag, 19F NMR probe, and a fluorophore and a method for metal-free protein purification and isolation of analytically pure proteins.

- Peptide Tyrosinase Activators
-
Peptides that increase melanin synthesis are provided. These peptides include pentapeptides YSSWY, YRSRK, and their variants. The peptides may activate the enzymatic activity of tyrosinase to increase melanin synthesis. The pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and other compositions including the peptides are also provided. The methods of increasing melanin production in epidermis of a subject are provided where the methods include administering compositions comprising an amount of one or more peptides effective to increase the melanin production. The methods also include treating vitiligo or other hypopigmentation disorders with compositions including one or more peptides.
