Abstract

Unnatural amino acids have found wide utility for the modification of the physical properties and biological activities of peptides, peptide mimetics, and, more recently, proteins. 1 Due to their expanding utility, synthetic routes to novel unnatural amino acids, particularly those with unusual chemical properties, broaden the scope of what can be done in this area. Wasserman and co-workers have made significant contributions to the synthesis, ...
