Accelerating solid-phase synthesis
is crucial for accessing a large
number of peptides in a short time. Since standard peptide synthesis
is usually done under poor diffusion conditions with slow or no mixing
of the solid support, acceleration of the process is achieved by applying
a large excess of reagents. In this work, overhead stirring and heating
were combined to provide accelerated solid-phase peptide synthesis
without using an excess of reagent. A new setup that allows both heating
and fast stirring was designed specifically for research laboratory-scale
peptide synthesis. By increasing the diffusion of both reagents and
beads in a narrow dimension reactor, solid-phase reactions were done
in seconds and medium-size peptides were synthesized in minutes.
In this work, a new setup that relies on fast stirring and heating was used to increase the diffusion of both reagents and solid support. we show that the combination of fast mixing and elevated temperature enables the acceleration of solid-phase peptide synthesis without using a large excess of reagents, providing a greener and accessible alternative to the state-of-the-art.<br>
Peptide fragments of glycoproteins containing multiple N-glycosylated sites are essential biochemical tools not only to investigate protein-protein interactions but also to develop glycopeptide-based diagnostics and immunotherapy. However, solid-phase synthesis of...
