Popis: |
The synthesis reaction of the peptide, N-Cbz-L-tryptophanyl-glycineamide, catalyzed by alpha-chymotrypsin was performed in a 20% water/80%, 1,4-butanediol mixture. The synthesis yield reached 90.9% at the end of the reaction and 72.3% after purification. The effects on the yield of both pH and the ratio between total initial concentrations of glycineamide and N-Cbz-L-tryptophan are examined. The high yield, specificity, simplicity and reproducibility of this method make it complementary of the chemical methods. |
