The adsorption of phosphoserine and serine was studied to determine the effect of amino acid functional groups on the surface reactivity of synthetic poorly crystalline apatite similar to bone mineral. The experimental results for phosphoserine and serine uptake agree respectively with the Langmuir

Abstract
The chemistry of phosphoserine [Ser(P)] containing peptides and polypeptides was extensively investigated to explore a new biomineralization material science. The selective cleavage of the O,O′‐diphenyl phospho‐protecting groups of Ser(PO~3~Ph~2~) was examined using hydrogenolysis catalysts. Among the catalysts examined, only PtO~2~ in 50% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/AcOH successfully cleaved the protecting group of Ser(PO~3~Ph~2~) to give Ser(P). Based on these characteristic new findings, Ser(P)‐containing dipeptides such as Gly‐Ser(P), Ala‐Ser(P), Ser‐Ser(P), Asp‐Ser(P), Glu‐Ser(P), and Lys‐Ser(P), and tetrapeptide [Asp‐Ser(P)]~2~ were synthesized by a facile method. When we used the Ser(PO~3~Ph~2~) residues at the C terminals, the amino functional groups of amino acids and peptides can be coupled by the unsymmetric mixed anhydride using isobutyl chloroformate but cannot be by the symmetric anhydride method using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Neither unsymmetric mixed anhydride nor symmetric anhydride can be coupled with p‐nitrophenol at their C terminals. High‐molecular‐weight sequential polypeptides containing Ser(P) such as poly[Ser(P)‐Xaa] (Xaa: Gly, Ala, Ser, Lys, Asp, Glu) and poly[Gly‐Ser(P)‐Gly] were first synthesized by the polycondensation of the di‐ and tripeptide p‐nitrophenyl active esters, followed by the quantitative elimination of the diphenyl protecting groups by PtO~2~ in TFA/AcOH. The new strategy to synthesize Ser(P)‐containing peptides and model proteins may help the development of hybrid formulations of marine and biomimetic protein minerals.
