Abstract

Abstract Gramicidin A (gA) analogues with a biotin attached to the C-terminus by an aminocaproyl linker are used as ion channels in the AMBRI® biosensor and are referred to as biotinylated gA. In order to examine the conformation and dynamics of the aminocaproyl linker by 2 H solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, the synthesis of deuterated aminocaproic acid is required. We report on the synthesis of (D 10)-6-aminocaproic acid ...
