PROCESS FOR PRODUCING PEPTIDE

摘要

It is an objective of the present invention to provide a novel gene recombination-based method for producing desired peptides that allows effective, large scale production of the desired peptides. According to the method of the present invention, excision of peptides of interest is achieved by the use of the right-handed scissors (i.e., S-cyanylation reaction) along with the left-handed scissors (i.e., treatment with cyanogen bromide, enterokinase, factor Xa, or the like). The method utilizes the excision technique in conjunction with the tandem repeat technique and thereby provides a useful gene recombination-based technique for peptide synthesis that is particularly effective in the large-scale synthesis of low-molecular weight peptides.
