Rapid synthesis and screening of peptide mimetics

摘要

Synthesizing peptide mixts. comprises doing a 1st synthesis of peptide mixts., each made up of n amino acids or gps. of amino acids, by n synthetic steps of which the 1st steps comprises coupling to completion amino acids or gps. of amino acids individually to aliquots of solid-support resin, and the additional steps involve thoroughly mixing the aliquots of resin-coupled amino acids or gps. of amino acids, dividing the mixt. into equal aliquots, coupling to completion amino acids or gps. of amino acids individually to each aliquot and if desired cleaving the peptides from the resins to give peptide mixts. each member of which has a known amino acid at the last-coupled position. This synthetic process can be integrated with a biological assay to determine the sequence of a particular peptide or peptides having biological activity.
