H. Sekizaki et al., ENZYMATIC COUPLING OF ALPHA,ALPHA-DIALKYL AMINO-ACIDS USING INVERSE SUBSTRATES AS ACYL DONORS, Tetrahedron letters, 38(10), 1997, pp. 1777-1780
Two series of inverse substrates, N-alpha-Boc-alpha,alpha-dialkyl amin
o acid p-guanidino- and p-(guanidinomethyl)phenyl esters, were prepare
d as acyl donor components for enzymatic peptide synthesis. They were
found to be readily coupled with amino acid p-nitroanilide to produce
peptide. Streptomyces griseus trypsin was a more efficient catalyst th
an bovine trypsin. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
