Self-assembling peptide hydrogels are becoming an emerging field especially in last decades. Application of these hydrogel forming peptides in biomedical materials, organic electronic devices and tissue engineering is a challenging topic which requires alternative structures to get better and to be easily applied systems. [2.2]Paracyclophane has an interesting structure which two benzene rings are bound to each other with a bridge containing 2 carbons. It is known that the distance between two benzene rings of paracyclophane is shorter, 2.8 - 3.1 Å, than the optimum pi-pi stacking. This provides an easier electron transfer between two rings and makes the compound conductive. On this work, ferrocenoyl phenylalanine (FF) was synthesized and semi-conductive hydrogels were obtained. Electrical properties of these hydrogels such as dielectric constants, conductivities, mobilities and conductivity mechanisms were extensively studied. Organic field-effect transistor which requires low voltage and power was also developed using FF hydrogels. In the second part of the work, three [2.2]paracyclophane mono amino acid and nine dipeptide derivatives were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. However, it was failed to form hydrogels from these peptide derivatives under various conditions. [2.2]paracyclophane-2-carboxylic was resolved into its enantiomers using chiral amine. Enantiopure [2.2]Paracyclophanoyl phenylalanine was synthesized using each enantiomer of [2.2]paracyclophane-2-carboxylic acid. Hydrogelation studies have not been completed yet.

Light triggered self-assembly and hydrogelation of azobenzene bearing peptides and investigation of their nanostructures Tezcan, Meniz; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Chemistry (2013) Since their serendipitously discovery in 1993, hydrogel of self-assembling peptides are becoming an emerging field especially in last 10 years. For their application in selective drug delivery, tissue engineering and biomedical applications, divergent peptide libraries can be constructed through chemical peptide synthesis, utilizing synthetic amino acids addition to 21 naturally occurring ones. One of the methods which were applied to obtain self-assembling peptides is incorporating strongly beta-sheet form...
Synthesis of novel chiral thiourea derivatives and their applications, synthesis of some hdac inhibitors, addition of acyl phosphonates to ethylcyanoformate Sağlam, Gülüzar; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2008) The thiourea derivatives have become a main focus of research in asymmetric synthesis as an organocatalyst in recent years. In the first part, the thiourea catalysts are synthesized starting from easily available L-tartaric acid and application of the catalysts to some addition reactions showed no significant asymmetric induction. A number of HDAC inhibitors have been developed as anti-cancer agent at the present time.In the second part, some aryl butenoic acid derivatives are synthesized as HDAC inhibitors...
Investigation of surface properties of quince seed extract as a novel polymeric surfactant Kirtil, Emrah; Svitova, Tatyana; Radke, Clayton J.; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Şahin, Serpil (2022-02-01) © 2021 Elsevier LtdIn recent years, there is a growing trend from both academia and the industry towards the use of “clean-labeled” ingredients obtained from renewable resources. Proteins and polysaccharides, in particular, are becoming increasingly popular as alternatives to already well-established synthetic surfactants. Quince seeds are a relatively novel hydrocolloid source that has recently raised interest among researchers due to their strong surface activity and viscosity-enhancing properties. This s...
