Rapid syntheses of PnIA(A10L),
PR(81–99), and [Glu40Gly]-CP10(1–40)-αCOSR assembled
in 67 min, 2.1 h, and 4.4 h, respectively. Peaks labeled with
∗ indicate residual p-cresol or resorcinol from the HF
cleavage. (A) HPLC and ES-MS analysis of the crude
PnIA(A10L) reaction products. The major HPLC peak has the correct mass
for PnIA(A10L). The HPLC peak labeled with ♦ refers to the PnIA(A10L)
peptide with an oxidized Cys(p-MeBzl) group.
(B) HPLC and ES-MS analysis of the crude PR(81–99)
synthesis. The HPLC peak labeled with ▿ indicates the
des-Arg deletion product. In the deconvoluted ES-MS spectrum
(Right) peaks A, B, C, D, E, and F correspond to the
presence of the des-Arg, des-Gln, des-Asn/Ile/Leu, des-Thr, and
des-Gly deletion side-products and the correct peptide with an oxidized
Cys(p-MeBzl) group. (C) HPLC and ES-MS
analysis of the crude [Glu40Gly]CP10(1–40)-αCOSR
synthesis. The HPLC peak labeled with ○ indicates the
des-Leu/Ile deletion side-product. In the deconvoluted ES-MS spectrum
(Right) peaks A, B, and C correspond to a double
des-Ile/Leu deletion, single des-Ile/Leu deletion, and
[Glu40Gly]CP10(1–40)-αCOSR containing residual
glutamyl O-cyclohexyl ester protection, respectively.
