Macrocyclization
of peptides with different perfluoroaromatic linkers.
Reaction conditions: 0.1 mM peptide 1a–c, 0.2 mg/mL GST, 20 mM tris(carboxylethyl)phosphine hydrochloride
(TCEP·HCl), 0.1 M phosphate, pH 8.0, room temperature (25 °C),
5 min. (A) Reaction yields with different linkers with or without
the addition of GST. (B) LC–MS analysis of crude reaction mixtures
with peptide 1a. Amino acids are shown in one-letter
codes. γ-E: γ-glutamic acid. LC–MS data shown are
total ion currents (TIC); mass spectra at the highest points of the
TIC peaks are shown as insets.
