Abstract
Symmetric α-amino acid derivatives can be used for the synthesis of intermolecularly linked peptides such as dimer-type peptides, and modified peptides in which two amino acids are intramolecularly linked. They are also synthetic intermediates for the total synthesis of natural products and functional molecules. These symmetric amino acid derivatives must be prepared based on organic synthesis. It is necessary to develop an optimal synthetic strategy for constructing the target symmetric amino acid derivative. In this review, we will introduce strategies for synthesizing symmetric amino acid derivatives. Additionally, selected applications of these amino acids in the life sciences will be described.

Abstract
NOD1 and NOD2 sense small bacterial peptidoglycan fragments, often called muropeptides, that access the cytosol. These muropeptides include iE-DAP and MDP, the minimal agonists for NOD1 and NOD2, respectively. Here, we synthesized and validated alkyne-modified muropeptides, iE-DAP-Alk and MDP-Alk, for use in click-chemistry reactions. While it has long been known that many cell types respond to extracellular exposure to muropeptides, it is unclear how these innate immune activators access their cytosolic innate immune receptors, NOD1 and NOD2. The subcellular trafficking and transport mechanisms by which muropeptides access these cytosolic innate immune receptors are a major gap in our understanding of these critical host responses. The click-chemistry-enabled agonists developed here will be particularly powerful to decipher the underlying cell biology and biochemistry of NOD1 and NOD2 innate immune sensing.

Abstract
The biosynthesis, breakdown, and modification of peptidoglycan (PG) play vital roles in both bacterial viability and in the response of human physiology to bacterial infection. Studies on PG biochemistry are hampered by the fact that PG is an inhomogeneous insoluble macromolecule. Chemical synthesis is therefore an important means to obtain PG fragments that may serve as enzyme substrates and elicitors of the human immune response. This review outlines the recent advances in the synthesis and biochemical studies of PG fragments, PG biosynthetic intermediates (such as Park's nucleotides and PG lipids), and PG breakdown products (such as muramyl dipeptides and anhydro-muramic acid-containing fragments). A rich variety of synthetic approaches has been applied to preparing such compounds since carbohydrate, peptide, and phospholipid chemical methodologies must all be applied.

Abstract
A primary component of all known bacterial cell walls is the peptidoglycan (PG) layer, which is composed of repeating units of sugars connected to short and unusual peptides. The various steps within PG biosynthesis are targets of potent antibiotics as proper assembly of the PG is essential for cellular growth and survival. Synthetic mimics of PG have proven to be indispensable tools to study the bacterial cell structure, growth, and remodeling. Yet, a common component of PG, meso-diaminopimelic acid (m-DAP) at the third position of the stem peptide, remains challenging to access synthetically and is not commercially available. Here, we describe the synthesis and metabolic processing of a selenium-based bioisostere of m-DAP (selenolanthionine) and show that it is installed within the PG of live bacteria by the native cell wall crosslinking machinery in mycobacterial species. This PG probe has an orthogonal release mechanism that could be important for downstream proteomics studies. Finally, we describe a bead-based assay that is compatible with high-throughput screening of cell wall enzymes. We envision that this probe will supplement the current methods available for investigating PG crosslinking in m-DAP-containing organisms.

Abstract
Bacterial cell walls contain peptidoglycan (PG), a scaffold that provides proper rigidity to resist lysis from internal osmotic pressure and a barrier to protect cells against external stressors. It consists of repeating sugar units with a linkage to a stem peptide that becomes cross-linked by cell wall transpeptidases (TP). While synthetic PG fragments containing l-lysine in the third position on the stem peptide are easier to access, those with meso-diaminopimelic acid (m-DAP) pose a severe synthetic challenge. Herein, we describe a solid phase synthetic scheme based on widely available building blocks to assemble meso-cystine (m-CYT), which mimics key structural features of m-DAP. To demonstrate proper mimicry of m-DAP, cell wall probes were synthesized with m-CYT in place of m-DAP and evaluated for their metabolic processing in live bacterial cells. We found that m-CYT-based cell wall probes were properly processed by TPs in various bacterial species that endogenously contain m-DAP in their PG. Additionally, we have used hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore the influence of m-DAP analogs on the PG cross-linking. The results showed that the cross-linking mechanism of transpeptidases occurred through a concerted process. We anticipate that this strategy, which is based on the use of inexpensive and commercially available building blocks, can be widely adopted to provide greater accessibility of PG mimics for m-DAP containing organisms.

Abstract
The syntheses of peptidoglycan (PG)-derived peptides containing meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-Dap) are typically quite lengthy due to the need to prepare orthogonally protected meso-Dap. In this work, the preparation of the PG pentapeptide containing the isosteric analog meso-oxa-Dap is described. The synthesis relies on the ring opening of a peptide embedded aziridine via the attack of a serine residue. The pentapeptide was attached to a GlcNAc-anhydro-MurNAc disaccharide, to produce a putative substrate for the AmpG pore protein.

Abstract
The enzymes Csd6 and Pgp2 are peptidoglycan (PG) proteases found in the pathogenic bacteria Helicobacter pylori and Campylobacter jejuni, respectively. These enzymes are involved in the trimming of non-crosslinked PG sidechains and catalyze the cleavage of the bond between meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-Dap) and d-alanine, thus converting a PG tetrapeptide into a PG tripeptide. They are known to be cell-shape-determining enzymes, because deletion of the corresponding genes results in mutant strains that have lost the normal helical phenotype and instead possess a straight-rod morphology. In this work, we report two approaches directed towards the synthesis of the tripeptide substrate Ac-iso-d-Glu-meso-oxa-Dap-d-Ala, which serves as a mimic of the terminus of an non-crosslinked PG tetrapeptide substrate. The isosteric analogue meso-oxa-Dap was utilized in place of meso-Dap to simplify the synthetic procedure. The more efficient synthesis involved ring opening of a peptide-embedded aziridine by a serine-based nucleophile. A branched tetrapeptide was also prepared as a mimic of the terminus of a crosslinked PG tetrapeptide. We used MS analysis to demonstrate that the tripeptide serves as a substrate for both Csd6 and Pgp2 and that the branched tetrapeptide serves as a substrate for Pgp2, albeit at a significantly slower rate.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacterial pathogen. A primary contributor to its ability to resist β-lactam antibiotics is the expression, following detection of the β-lactam, of the AmpC β-lactamase. As AmpC expression is directly linked to the recycling of the peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall, an important question is the identity of the signaling molecule(s) in this relationship. One mechanism used by clinical strains to elevate AmpC expression is loss of function of penicillin-binding protein 4 (PBP4). As the mechanism of the β-lactams is PBP inactivation, this result implies that the loss of the catalytic function of PBP4 ultimately leads to induction of antibiotic resistance. PBP4 is a bifunctional enzyme having both dd-carboxypeptidase and endopeptidase activities. Substrates for both the dd-carboxypeptidase and the 4,3-endopeptidase activities were prepared by multistep synthesis, and their turnover competence with respect to PBP4 was evaluated. The endopeptidase activity is specific to hydrolysis of 4,3-cross-linked peptidoglycan. PBP4 catalyzes both reactions equally well. When P. aeruginosa is grown in the presence of a strong inducer of AmpC, the quantities of both the stem pentapeptide (the substrate for the dd-carboxypeptidase activity) and the 4,3-cross-linked peptidoglycan (the substrate for the 4,3-endopeptidase activity) increase. In the presence of β-lactam antibiotics these altered cell-wall segments enter into the muropeptide recycling pathway, the conduit connecting the sensing event in the periplasm and the unleashing of resistance mechanisms in the cytoplasm.

Abstract
A group of Gram-negative bacteria, including the problematic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has linked the steps in cell-wall recycling with the ability to manifest resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. A key step at the crossroads of the two events is performed by the protease AmpD, which hydrolyzes the peptide in the metabolite that influences these events. In contrast to other organisms that harbor this elaborate system, the genomic sequences of P. aeruginosa reveal it to have three paralogous genes for this protease, designated as ampD, ampDh2, and ampDh3. The recombinant gene products were purified to homogeneity, and their functions were assessed by the use of synthetic samples of three bacterial metabolites in cell-wall recycling and of three surrogates of cell-wall peptidoglycan. The results unequivocally identify AmpD as the bona fide recycling enzyme and AmpDh2 and AmpDh3 as enzymes involved in turnover of the bacterial cell wall itself. These findings define for the first time the events mediated by these three enzymes that lead to turnover of a key cell-wall recycling metabolite as well as the cell wall itself in its maturation.

Abstract
A straightforward synthesis of meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid (DAP) meso-1 was developed from 1,4-diacetoxycyclohept-2-ene (2) via an oxidative ring cleavage. Subsequently, an enantio-divergent synthesis of (S,S)- and (R,R)-1 was performed using a homochiral monoacetate 7 available from 2 by enzymatic desymmetrization.

Abstract
Metal enolates and functionalized allylzinc reagents react with optically active alpha-amidoalkylphenyl sulfones to give N-carbamoylamino derivatives with variable levels of anti diastereoselectivity. Zinc enolates provide comparable results with respect to lithium enolates in terms of diastereoselectivity but afford beta-amino ester derivatives in lower yield. The synthetic utility of the obtained chiral N-carbamoylamino esters is demonstrated by the first enantioselective synthesis of (-)-1-aminopyrrolizidine a central intermediate for the preparation of various biologically active substances.

Abstract
A mild and new procedure for the selective cleavage of an alkoxycarbonyl group (Boc, CBz) in N,N-dicarbamoyl-protected amino compounds is described. The method is based on the use of lithium bromide in acetonitrile and is compatible with a large range of other functionalities present in the substrates. Compared with other reported methodologies, the procedure is particularly useful for the Cbz-selective cleavage in N,N-Ts,Cbz-diprotected amines. A rationalization of the selectivity supported by ab initio calculations is also presented.

Abstract
The Garner aldehyde-derived methylene alkene 5 and the corresponding benzyloxycarbonyl compound 25 undergo hydroboration with 9-BBN-H followed by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions with aryl and vinyl halides. After one-pot hydrolysis-oxidation, a range of known and novel nonproteinogenic amino acids were isolated as their N-protected derivatives. These novel organoborane homoalanine anion equivalents are generated and transformed under mild conditions and with wide functional group tolerance: electron-rich and -poor aromatic iodides and bromides (and a vinyl bromide) all undergo efficient Suzuki coupling. The extension of this methodology to prepare meso-DAP, R,R-DAP, and R,R-DAS is also described.

Abstract
An efficient route for the synthesis of enantiopure omega-hydroxy, omega-carboxy, omega-oxo, and omega-amino alpha-amino acids and bis-alpha-amino acids was developed. The synthesis of omega-trityloxy delta,epsilon-unsaturated alpha-amino acids was based on the Wittig reaction of methyl (2S)-2-[bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-oxopentanoate with omega-trityloxy alkylidene triphenylphosphoranes. After hydrogenation, the omega-hydroxy alpha-amino acid was used as starting material for the synthesis of other omega-functionalized alpha-amino acids. The length of the side chain of alpha-amino acids or bis-alpha-amino acids depends on the starting alkanediol or dibromide used to prepare the phosphoranes.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of (S)-alpha-amino oleic acid was developed. The fully protected FA derivative was obtained in four steps starting from methyl (2S)-2-[bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-oxopentanoate. These steps are (i) olefination of the starting aldehyde with the appropriate phosphonate anion, (ii) hydrogenation of the double bonds, (iii) controlled reduction of omega-ethyl ester to an aldehyde in the presence of alpha-methyl ester, and (iv) a Wittig reaction of the latter aldehyde with the suitable ylide. Free alpha-amino oleic acid was prepared after deprotection of the amino group followed by saponification in a total yield of 24%. N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-protected amino oleic acid and the corresponding amino alcohol were prepared in high yield. The structures of the products have been established by various spectroscopic techniques.
