Investigating the synthesis of dodeca oligomers of Sarcosine using Fmoc-Sar-OH, Fmoc-(Sar)2-OH and Fmoc-(Sar)4-OH

Polysarcosines are flexible and enzyme-resistant polymers, made from the biocompatible non-proteinogenic amino acid sarcosine. Unlike PEGs, they are not reported to trigger immune responses.

Incorporation of pseudoproline monomer (Fmoc-Thr[ψMe,Mepro]–OH) facilitates efficient solid-phase synthesis of difficult peptides

Herein we investigate the incorporation of the Fmoc-Thr-pseudoproline monomer during Fmoc SPPS. Typically, pseudoprolines are incorporated as preformed dipeptides. However, the possibility of using the monomer adds flexibility to the synthesis.

Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis Using a Four-Dimensional (Safety-Catch) Protecting Group Scheme

As the molecular diversity of cyclic and branched peptides becomes more and more challenging, a high level of orthogonal dimensionality is required. Herein, we present a new category of orthogonal protecting groups.

Solid-Phase Synthesis of an “Inaccessible” hGH-Derived Peptide Using a Pseudoproline Monomer and SIT-Protection for Cysteine

Herein, we report the first-time SPPS of a special peptide sequence via employment of of a serine pseudoproline building block as well as sec-isamyl mercaptan (SIT) as cysteine protecting group.

2-Chlorotrityl Chloride and 4-Methylbenzhydryl Bromide Resin Loading Using the Mixture of Organic Solvents: A “Greener” Alternative to Dichloromethane and N,N-Dimethylformamide

Common protocols for the loading of 2-CTC and MBH-Br resins presume the application of DCM, THF, or DMF; these solvents are considered as undesirable in accordance with modern regulatory rules.
