A cleavage method which minimizes side reactions following Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis
Abstract
The success of solid phase peptide synthesis utilizing 9‐fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) amino acids is often limited by deleterious side reactions which occur during TFA peptide‐resin cleavage and side‐chain deprotection. The majority of these side reactions modify susceptible residues, such as Trp, Tyr, Met, and Cys, with TFA‐liberated side‐chain protecting groups and linkers. The purpose of this study was to assess the relative effectiveness of various scavengers in suppressing these side reactions. We found that the cleavage mixture 82.5% TFA: 5% phenol: 5% H 2 O : 5% thioanisole : 2.5% EDT (Reagent K) was maximally efficient in inhibiting a great variety of side reactions. Synthesis and cleavage of 10 peptides, each containing 20‐50 residues, demonstrated the complementarity of Fmoc chemistry with Reagent K for efficient synthesis of complex peptides.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
