General

All reactions were performed under an inert atmosphere of N2 using standard

Schlenk techniques if not otherwise stated. A Varian Cary BIO 50 UV/VIS/NIR

Spectrometer was used. A 1 cm quartz cell was purchased from Hellma and Uvasol

solvents from Merck or Baker. IR spectra were recorded on a Bio-Rad FT-IR FTS

155 and a Bio-Rad FTS 2000 MX FT-IR using a Specac Golden Gate Mk II ATR

accessory where stated. NMR spectrometers used were: Bruker Avance 600 (1H:

600.1 MHz, 13C: 150.1 MHz, T = 300 K), Bruker Avance 400 (1H: 400.1 MHz, 13C:

100.6 MHz, T = 300 K) and Bruker Avance 300 (1H: 300.1 MHz, 13C: 75.5 MHz, T =

300 K). The chemical shifts are reported in d [ppm] relative to external standards

(solvent residual peak). The spectra were analyzed by first order, the coupling

constants are given in Hertz [Hz]. Characterization of the signals: s = singlet, d =

doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet, bs = broad singlet, psq = pseudo

quintet, dd = double doublet, dt = double triplet, ddd = double double doublet.

Integration is determined as the relative number of atoms. Assignment of signals in 13C-spectra was determined with DEPT-technique (pulse angle: 135 °) and given as

(+) for CH3 or CH, (-) for CH2 and (Cquat) for quaternary C. Error of reported values:

chemical shift: 0.01 ppm for 1H-NMR, 0.1 ppm for 13C-NMR and 0.1 Hz for coupling

constants. The solvent used is reported for each spectrum. Mass spectra were

recorded on Varian CH-5 (EI), Finnigan MAT 95 (CI; FAB and FD) and Finnigan MAT

TSQ 7000 (ESI). Xenon served as the ionization gas for FAB. Melting Points were

determined on a Büchi SMP-20 melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. TLC

analyses were performed on silica gel 60 F-254 with a 0.2 mm layer thickness.

Detection was via UV light at 254 nm / 366 nm or by staining with ninhydrin in EtOH.

For preparative column-chromatography, Merck Geduran SI 60 silica gel was used.

Commercially available solvents of standard quality were used. If otherwise stated,

purification and drying was done according to accepted general procedures.[1]

The following compounds were synthesized according to literature known

procedures: complex 10,[2] compound 14,[3] benzyl 2-aminoethylcarbamate 35,[4]

bis(Boc)-2-methyl-2-thiopseudourea 38,[5] tert-butyl 2-aminoethylcarbamate 45.[6]

The chloride 14 (1.0 g, 0.95 mmol) was dissolved in 40 ml of dioxane. Following,

potassium carbonate (2.0 g, 14 mmol, 15 eq) and 3-azido-propylamine hydrochloride

(19) (0.65 g, 4.7 mmol, 5 eq) were added. The suspension was stirred at 90 °C under

an atmosphere of N2 for 3 days. The suspension was filtered and the residue was

washed thoroughly with EtOAc. After evaporation of the solvent in vacuum the

obtained brown oil was purified by column chromatography twice. First with

PE:EtOAc = 7:3 and then with DCM:MeOH = 98:2. This gave the azide 17 as a

General Procedure 1 (GP 1) Alkylation of glutamines under acidic conditions:

The ammonium chloride was dissolved in acetonitrile (4 ml per mmol). Bromo-ethyl-

acetate (60 eq), NaF (9 eq), SiO2 (5 eq), phase transfer-catalysts TBABr und

18-crown-6 (each approx. 0.10 g) were added. The mixture was refluxed under an

atmosphere of N2 for 20 h. After cooling to room temperature potassium carbonate (1

eq) was added. After stirring the suspension at room temperature for 1 h and

General procedure 2 (GP 2) Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen reaction:

Equimolar amounts of the alkyne and the azide compound were dissolved in a 1:2

mixture of tBuOH:EtOH (10 ml per mmol alkyne). A solution of sodium ascorbate

(2 eq) in aqueous acetate buffer (pH 5, c = 0.5 mol/L) was added (4 ml buffer per

mmol alkyne). Finally an aqueous solution of CuSO4 x 5 H2O (c = 1 mol/L, 1 eq) was

added. The color of the mixture turned brown immediately and then slowly yellow.

The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h and diluted with 50 ml of water

(an orange precipitate occurs). The suspension was extracted with EtOAc (3 x 50

ml). The organic layers were combined, together with the orange precipitate and

washed thoroughly with a saturated aqueous solution of EDTA di-sodium salt until

the orange solid dissolved completely. The blue aqueous layer was discarded and

the organic layer was dried with Na2SO4. Filtration and removal of the solvent in

vacuum yielded the crude product as a white solid, which was purified by column

chromatography. (first run: DCM:MeOH; second run: EtOAc:EtOH, gradient 98:2 to

96:4 for both mixtures.

General procedure 4 (GP 4): deprotonation and cleavage of ester-groups

The ammonium salt was dissolved in water (10 ml per mmol) and eluted over a

strongly basic anion exchanger (OH- -form, loading 0.9 mmol/ml, 16 eq). The resin

was washed with a small amount of MeOH. Both solutions were combined and LiOH

was added (3 eq). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 24 h.

Lyophilisation yielded the completely deprotected compounds. 1H-NMR as well as 13C-NMR spectra of compounds 32 and 33 could not be analyzed in detail because

of too slow movement of cyclen rings in NMR timescale. However, spectra showed

no signals that could be assigned to ester functions. MS spectroscopy also confirmed

the complete cleavage of all ester groups.

General procdure 5 (GP 5): Synthesis of Zn(II) complexes

The ligand was dissolved in MeOH (10 ml per mmol). A slight excess of Zn(ClO4)2 x 6

H2O (3.3 eq) was dissolved in water (10 ml per mmol) and both solutions were added

simultaneously drop wise to water (5 ml per mmol) at 80 °C. In the case that a

precipitate appeared, water was added until the precipitate dissolved. After complete

addition of both solutions the pH value was checked. If it was lower that 8, an

aqueous solution of LiOH (0.1 mol/l) was added. The mixture was heated to reflux for

6 h. EtOH was subsequently added to the boiling solution until the product began to

precipitate. After cooling to room temperature the suspension was stored at -20 °C

over night in order to complete the precipitation. The product was separated by

centrifugation, washed with MeOH and EtOH, the solution was concentrated at

reduced pressure and dried in vacuum. The remaining solid was recrystallized from

water/MeOH/EtOH.

Complex 6:

The Boc protected compound 50 (1.4 g, 0.62 mmol) was dissolved in methanol and

cooled to 0 °C in an ice bath. To this solution HCl saturated ether (0.7 ml/mmol

Boc-group) was added. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and

was stirred over night. The solvent was evaporated, the crude product was dissolved

in water and purified over an ion exchanger column using a strongly basic ion

exchanger (OH- -form, loading 0.9 mmol/ml, 4 eq. per protonated nitrogen) to give a

colorless solid after lyophylization. Then two aqueous solutions were prepared: one

containing the obtained colorless solid from the column and a second one containing

Zn(ClO4)2 · 6 H2O (0.90 g, 2.4 mmol, 4.4 eq. per deprotected receptor). These two

solutions were simultaneously added drop wise to water at 80 °C under vigorous

stirring. The resulting mixture was stirred at 90 °C over night, and then lyophilized,

and the product was recrystallized from a water methanol mixture to give the complex

as a violet red solid in 63 % yield. (0.75 g, 0.39 mmol).

2. Solid-phase peptide synthesis

The peptides were synthesized on an Advanced Chemtech 496 MOS synthesizer.

Rink Amide MBHA resin and Fmoc protecting group strategy were used throughout

the syntheses. Coupling was achieved by TBTU / HOBt / DIPEA. HOBt was used as

a 0.45 M solution, TBTU as a 0.44 M solution and DIPEA as a 1.2 M solution, all in

DMF. The Fmoc protected amino acids were dissolved in NMP as 0.4 M solutions.

Carboxyfluorescein was coupled as a normal amino acid. The syntheses were

carried out in a 96 well reactor. All peptides were synthesized on 50 mg of resin. The

lot of the resin used had a loading of 0.72 mmole/g (manufacturer’s claims). Before

each synthesis the resin was allowed to preswell in DMF for 30 min. Each coupling

was done twice using a 5 fold excess of HOBt and slightly less than 5 fold excess of

TBTU. DIPEA was used in 10 fold excess. Fmoc deprotection was done by shaking

the resin with 40 % piperidine in DMF for 3 minutes, subsequent washing and

addition of 20 % piperidine in DMF followed by shaking for 10 minutes. After

completion, the resin was washed with MeOH, DCM and diethylether (5 x 2 ml each).

Phosphorylated serine was introduced using Fmoc-Ser(PO(OBzl)OH)-OH as the

phosphorylated building block. Cleavage of the peptides from the resin was afforded

by addition of 1.5 ml TFA / phenol / H2O / thioanisole / EDT (82.5 : 5 : 5 : 2.5) and

subsequent shaking for 3 h. After filtering off the resin, the TFA solution was reduced

in volume to about 0.5 ml. It was then transferred to a Falcon tube and precipitated

with cold diethylether. The precipitate was centrifuged at -4 °C for 10 minutes. The

solution was then carefully decanted off and the precipitate resuspended in cold

diethylether before being centrifuged again. This resuspending/centrifuging step was

repeated five times. Finally, the diethylether was decanted off again and the peptide

purified by preparative HPLC.

Fluorescence titrations

Instrument Parameters

Excitation wavelength: λex = 494 nm

Detection wavelength: λem?500 – 600 nm

Temperature: T = 298 K

PMT voltage: depending on concentration

Titration conditions

Solvent: 50 mM HEPES buffer, pH 7.5, 154 mM NaCl

Starting volume: 0.80 ml

Procedure

A Varian Cary Eclipse Fluorometer was used for the emission titrations. The cuvette

with 0.80 ml of peptide in HEPES buffer was titrated stepwise with small amounts

(beginning with 0.13 eq) of the receptor solution. After each addition the solution was

allowed to equilibrate for 2 min before the fluorescence intensity and the UV

spectrum (where permitted by the concentration range) were recorded. The

stoichiometries were determined by Job’s plots calculated from the titration data. To

determine the binding constants, the obtained fluorescence intensities at 520 nm

were volume corrected, plotted against the concentration of receptor and evaluated

by nonlinear fitting.

Fluorescence polarization titrations were conducted under identical conditions using

an ISS K2 Multifrequency Phase Fluorometer.
