St. Chen et al., INCORPORATION OF UNNATURAL AMINO-ACID DERIVATIVES INTO A PEPTIDE-BONDVIA AN OXIME ESTER CATALYZED BY PAPAIN OR LIPASE, Chemical communications, (2), 1996, pp. 165-166
In the presence of an oxime in the reaction solution, papain and lipas
e P (Pseudomonas from Amano) catalysed the stereoselective transesteri
fication of an N-protected amino acid or peptide ester to form an acti
ve (oxime) ester which in turn underwent peptide bond formation with s
everal natural and unnatural amino acid derivatives (proline, N-methyl
glycine, N-methylalanine, alpha-methylphenylalanine).
