โฆ Synopsis
The thiol protease papain catalyses the transfer of the Cbz-Gly moiety from the donor substrate Cbz-Gly-OMe to the amino group of various a-hydroxyand a-keto-amines, providing a new route to peptide isosteres.
Isosteres of natural peptides, especially of dipeptides, are valuable building blocks for the synthesis of mechanism-based protease inhibitors1 and proteolytically stable peptides. As more and more peptide

Papain catalyzed synthesis of glyceryl esters of BOC(Z)-protected amino acids and peptides was performed at 40-50ยฐC in a 50 molar excess of glycerol. Equilibrium was achieved in 6-7 h. The maximal yield of esters (50-70%) was obtained at 10% of water and pH 3.2-3.4. A lower water concentration resul
