Abstract: | The oligopeptides of alanine (penta-, deca-, and pentadeca-) were synthesized by solid phase method and new peptide-resin cleaving reagent TFA-BBr3 was used to cleave the peptides from resin-support. Penta-alanine was also synthesized by liquid phase for the comparision and FAB-Mass method was used to determine the molecular weight of penta-alanine. HPLC separation of these new oligopeptides were described. |
