Abstract
Taking the enkephalin synthesis on soluble polyethylene glycol support as a test case, this communication demonstrates the usefulness of mat rix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrome try to monitor each step of coupling as well as removal of the N-termi nal protecting group of the polymer-bound growing peptide chain, With minute amounts of sample the high mass accuracy permits detection of s ide reactions as well as incomplete reaction products.
