Abstract

PA A I-AA,-ON+ HOC, H, CI-p (“, I a P= bcnzylovycarbonyl (Z) or tluorcnylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC) group, AA,= N-tcrniinal mino acid or peptide component. and AA,= C-terminal amino acid or pcptidc component. the coupling of the segments, the low solubility of side- chainprotected peptides in the organic solvents employed, and low yields. For such reasons, protease-catalyzed peptide synthesis5 has drawn considerable attention because most of ...
