Background:

  • Solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is a cornerstone of peptide-based drug discovery and research.
  • Current monitoring methods for SPPS can be time-consuming and may not provide real-time feedback on reaction kinetics.
  • Challenges such as peptide aggregation and resin collapse can negatively impact synthesis efficiency and yield.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new, real-time monitoring technique for solid phase peptide synthesis.
  • To enable detailed examination of deprotection, washing, and coupling stages.
  • To facilitate automated detection and management of synthesis challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a conductivity detector within the reaction cell of an SPPS apparatus.
