Amino acids peptide synthesis

Transcription occurs in the 5 to the 3 direction for the mRNA. The AUG codon would start peptide synthesis and Gly would be the C-terminal amino acid. Peptide synthesis would continue until a stop codon (in this case, UAA) appears. The peptide fragment from the DNA strand would be ...

The azlactones of a-benzoylaminocinnamic acids have traditionally been prepared by the action of hippuric acid (1, Ri = Ph) and acetic anhydride upon aromatic aldehydes, usually in the presence of sodium acetate. The formation of the oxazolone (2) in Erlenmeyer-Plochl synthesis is supported by good evidence. The method is a way to important intermediate products used in the synthesis of a-amino acids, peptides and related compounds. The aldol condensation reaction of azlactones (2) with carbonyl compounds is often followed by hydrolysis to provide unsaturated a-acylamino acid (4). Reduction yields the corresponding amino acid (6), while drastic hydrolysis gives the a-0X0 acid (5). ...

In a survey of the methods used for peptido synthesis in 1968, the isoxazolium salt method was used in 7% of the examples surveyed J. H. Jones in Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins, Vol. 2, The Chemical Society, London, 1970, p. 145.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Most biologically active peptides contain two to ten amino acids. Peptide bonds are formed between the carboxyl carbon of one amino acid and the amino nitrogen of another. Since water is released, this is an example of dehydration synthesis. The bond forms as illustrated in Figure 16.7.

A comparison of the mean amino acid composition of the soils with those of algae, bacteria, fungi, and yeasts showed the greatest similarity to that of bacteria. [4] This suggests, perhaps not too surprisingly, a major role for microorganisms in the synthesis in the soil of amino acids, peptides and proteins from plant and animal residues, and also explains the relatively uniform amino acid composition in different soils.

As the intermediate products resulting from individual synthetic steps cannot be purified, a virtually 100% selectivity is essential for the synthesis of larger-peptide molecules. Even at a selectivity of 99% per reaction step, the purity will drop to less than 75% for a dekapeptide (30 steps) It is practically infeasible to go beyond 10-15 amino acid peptides by using the solid-phase method. In order to prepare larger peptides, individual fragments are first produced, purified, and then combined with the final molecule by liquid phase synthesis. This combination of methods is listed under chemical hybrid in Table 4.2. 

Thus, for the production of Roche s anti-AIDS drug Fuzeon (enfuvirtide), three fragments of 10-12 amino acids are first made by solid-phase synthesis and then linked together by liquid-phase synthesis. The preparation of the whole 35 amino acid peptide requires more than 130 individual steps ...

The method is widely used nowadays for the synthesis of 13-amino acids. Peptides that contain P-amino acids feature a lower rate of metabolic degradation and are therefore of interest for pharmaceutical applications.
