To synthesize peptide thioesters directly on a solid support for use as substrate analogues for thioesterases in non-ribosomal peptide synthases, we modified a reagent compatible with Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis that efficiently removes the protecting group while keeping the thioester intact.

β¦ Synopsis
The acid-mediated cleavage of a synthetic thioxo peptide was monitored using deprotection cocktails with varying concentrations of TFA. Thioxo peptides are acid labile, undergoing cleavage at the amide linkage immediately following the thioamide linkage in the sequence. This acid lability makes Fmoc-based synthesis the method of choice for thioxo peptide preparation. The extent of cleavage increases with increased TFA concentration and longer reaction time. Data presented herein indicate that deprotection protocols involving low TFA concentration (ca. 80%) and short reaction times (ca. 2 h) minimize the losses due to acidolytic cleavage.

A number of biologically relevant 04-phospho-~-tyrosine-containing peptides have been synthesized by either the global phosphorylation of the side-chain-unprotected L-tyrosine moiety in presynthesized resin-bound peptides or alternatively by the incorporation of suitably protected 04-phospho-~-tyros
In order to minimise the formation of the pyrophosphate derivative of the target peptide when side-chainunprotected phopshotyrosine is used in solid-phase peptide synthesis, this building block can be incorporated using benzotriazolyloxy-tris-(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate/1-hydroxyb
