Synthesis of cyclic gomesin
Machado, et al. recently published a paper (J. Pept. Sci. 2012, 18, 588-98) in which they report synthesized backbone cyclized analogs of gomesin, an antimicrobial peptide from the hemocytes of the Brazilian spider Acantoscurria gomesiana. They performed the backbone...
Slow Gradient HPLC for Peptide Purification
Harris, Lee and Brimble reported in the J. Pept. Sci. (J. Pept. Sci. 2012, 18(9); 549-55.) that they could purify hundreds of milligrams of peptide on a semi-preparative column in a single step by using a slow gradient of 0.1%B per minute. Their results are...
Cysteine Racemization
JH Park, et al. reported in J Pept Sci. 2012 ;18(7):442-8 that in the synthesis of Protoxin II, they saw up to 50% racemization of Cys during coupling when they used N-methylmorpholine. They could significantly reduce racemization if they used 2,4,6-collidine in...
