- tyrosine phosphatase, this role is taken by hydrogen bonding of the phosphate ion to the positively charged arginine side chain [11]. In the key step of the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate by the yeast phosphatase, two Mg2+ ions and arginine H-bonds assist the P–O bond cleavage [12]. A number of artificial

- . Furthermore, the pKa value of the two guanidinium groups as well is an important factor for the stability of the dimers. While simple guanidinium cations as in arginine have a pKa of 13.5, the pKa of the acylguanidinium group in 1 was measured by UV-pH-titration to be 6.3 ± 0.1. Analysis of the pH dependent

- useful nNOS-selective inhibitors is a difficult task as the substrate for all three isoforms is L-arginine, and so they have similar active sites. In recent years, we have developed several potent and highly selective inhibitors of nNOS that have solved this problem by exploiting subtle differences among

- γ-carboxy group of aspartic acid, led to a cyclic intermediate. Appending N-acetylnorleucine concluded the assembly of melanotan II molecule. Protection of the lateral groups in arginine and tryptophan was omitted for atom and step economy reasons. The total synthesis of melanotan II was
- only volatile by-products, and all the reagents used were relatively inexpensive. These two points are very advantageous for the preparative synthesis. Another feature of our synthetic plan was to keep the side-chain functionality of arginine unprotected. In order to suppress the nucleophilic nature of
- the guanidine group in arginine, it was deactivated as the monohydrochloride salt over the course of 4 steps, and then as trifluoroacetate for another 2 steps. A similar method for arginine deactivation had been applied earlier in the first solution-phase synthesis of ACTH [30]. The assembly of the
