Area of Science:

  • Peptide Chemistry
  • Organic Synthesis
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is a cornerstone of peptide research.
  • Developing novel peptide structures with backbone modifications presents synthetic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize a model peptide incorporating backbone modifications via reductive alkylation.
  • To investigate the cyclization of thiol-containing peptides.

Main Methods:

  • Solid-phase peptide synthesis using Boc/benzyl protective group strategy on MBHA resin.
  • Reductive alkylation with sodium cyanoborohydride (NaCNBH3) for introducing methyleneamine linkages.
  • Peptide cleavage from resin using hydrogen fluoride (HF).
  • Analysis by reversed-phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) and plasma desorption mass spectrometry (PDMS).
