The glycopeptide analogue of eel calcitonin, [Asn(GlcNAc)(3)]-CT (1),
in which N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is attached to the asparagine re
sidue of the peptide was synthesized using a thioester method to build
the polypeptide segment and a dimethylphosphinothioic mixed anhyride
(Mpt-MA) method for the incorporation of the glycopeptide moiety. (C)
