γ-Glutamyl-dipeptides: Easy tools to rapidly probe the stereoelectronic properties of the ionotropic glutamate receptor binding pocket

Added on:

γ-Glutamyl-dipeptides, built by condensing the distal carboxylate of l-Glu (or d-Glu) onto a series of differently functionalized amino acids, were prepared and used as tools for rapidly probing the stereo-electronic properties of iGluRs, searching for subtype-selective ligands.
