A survey of a series of organosilyl derivatives of serine and tyrosine has shown that they have a satisfactory stability profile for use in peptide synthesis. Only when alkaline conditions were used did side-reactions appear. A range of stability profiles have been determined from a study of organosilyl derivatised dipeptides under different conditions, giving t4-values for hydrolysis ranging from 41 to 465 min in acid conditions, yet giving long-term stability at pH-values near to neutrality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
