Interpretation:
The explanation of structural features of a linker, which make it possible for the polypeptide to be detached from the Wang resin using trifluoroacetic acid, is to be given.
Concept introduction:
In solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), peptides are prepared, residue by residue. The peptide is attached to
The polypeptide is finally cleaved from the polymer support and is purified by HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography). The Wang resin is used as polymer support for the batch synthesis of peptide acids following the Fmoc- or tert-Bu-protection. It is cleaved by TFA.

- Another method to form a peptide bond involves a two-step process Reaction of the p-nitrophenyl ester with an amino acid ester. Why does a p-nitrophenyl ester “activate” the carboxy group of thefirst amino acid to amide formation?arrow_forwardA tripeptide on hydrolysis produced glycine, alanine and leucine. The structures of these amino acids are shown below. On reaction with Edman’s reagent, leucine was released as the phenylhydantoin. Treatment of the tripeptide with carboxypeptidase gave glycine. Draw the structure of the tripeptide.arrow_forwardPhenylalanine as N-termminus is incorrect. Please provide the correct solution.arrow_forward
- Draw out the peptide IYV and clearly label/identify all the Phi, Psi, and peptide bonds present in the peptide. Be sure to draw out the entire peptide and label the N- and C-termini. Which type of secondary structure would this peptide most likely take on (assuming it would take on a secondary structure)?.arrow_forwardWhich would you expect to be more soluble in water, a peptide containing mostly alanine and leucine or a peptide containing mostly lysine and aspartic acid? Explain. (Hint: Consider side-chain interactions with water.)arrow_forward(a) Draw a structural formula for the products formed when alanine is treated with the following reagents. (i) (Boc)20, NaOH (ii) CbzCI, NazCO3 (iii) 2-Methylpropene, p-TSOH (b) Enfuvirtide, a 36-amino-acid peptide drug, was manufactured at a multi-tonne per year scale. The manufacture relied on solid phase synthesis with Barlos resin as the solid support. Part of the solid phase synthesis is shown below.
