  1 mmol Fmoc-amino acid
  2.1 mL 0.45 M HBTU/HOBT (1mmol)
  348 µL DIEA (2 mmol)

• Drain reaction vessel and wash resin with DMF (4x).
• Perform Ninhydrin test:
• If negative (colorless), proceed to step 2 and continue synthesis.
• If positive (blue), return to step 5 and re-couple the same Fmoc-amino acid. Increase the coupling time if necessary.

合成含有磷酸化酪氨酸多肽的方法
Reagent: N-a-Fmoc-O-phosphotyrosine

• For 0.1 mmol or 0.25 mmol synthesis, use 0.483 g Fmoc-Tyr(PO3H2)-OH (1 mmol, MW 483.4) . For ABI synthesizers, pack Fmoc-Tyr(PO3H2)-OH in a cartridge.
• The cycle program for coupling Fmoc-Tyr (PO3H2)-OH is the same as for other Fmoc-amino acids except for the coupling time (see step 3). (Note: ABI synthesizers use HBTU/HOBT as the activating reagent.)
• The coupling time for Fmoc-Tyr(PO3H2)-OH needs to be increased. For ABI model 430A peptide synthesizer, insert several steps (i.e., vortex on, wait 990 sec, vortex off, to increase the coupling time). For ABI model 431A peptide synthesizer, add additional "I"s. Overnight coupling may be necessary for some sequences.
• After the coupling step for Fmoc-Tyr(PO3H2)-OH, perform ninhydrin test to ensure complete coupling. Negative (colorless) ninhydrin test indicates complete coupling, while a positive (blue) ninhydrin test indicates incomplete coupling.
• Increase the coupling time of the amino acid residues after the phosphotyrosine or perform double coupling. (Note: The coupling of amino acids after the phosphotyrosine can be difficult.)
• There is a limit on the number of amino acid residues that can be coupled after the hosphotyrosine. Since the phospho group is unprotected, side reactions are likely to ccur. (Note: Peptides have been successfully coupled with sequences containing up o ten additional amino acids following the phosphotyrosine residue.)

用Wang树脂和2-氯TRT树脂同时合成多肽
Peptides which differ in the C-termini can be simultaneously synthesized in one reaction vessel by employing resins that possess different cleavage properties. The resins used were the weak acid labile 2-chlorotrityl resins and the TFA labile Wang resins. The success of this approach was shown by the co-synthesis of ACTH (4-10) with ACTH (4-11) and Neuropeptide Y, a C-terminal amide peptide with its corresponding C-terminal free acid analog.

切割程序
Starting Resin: Chlorotrityl resins
Reagents for 1 g Peptide-Resin:
1 mL acetic acid (AcOH)
2 mL trifluoroethanol (TFE)
7 mL dichloromethane (DCM)

• Prepare above mixture.
• Add peptide-resin to the mixture and let it stir at room temperature for 1 h.
• Filter and wash resin with 10 mL TFE:DCM (2:8) (2x) to ensure that all of the product is recovered.
• Evaporate the solvent until there is less than 5 mL of liquid.
• Add ether to a test tube containing about 100 mL of the above solution. Check solubility of the fully protected peptide in ether. If the product precipitates, proceed to step 6. If no precipitate is observed, proceed to step 7.
• Add cold ether to the residual liquid in step 4 to precipitate the fully protected peptide. Filter through a fine sintered funnel to obtain the product.
• Some fully protected peptides are soluble in ether. In this case, add water to precipitate them out. Filter through a fine sintered funnel to obtain the product.

从Fmoc-Lys(Mtt)氨基酸上脱去Mtt的方法
Reagent:
Fmoc-Lys(Mtt)-OH

• Swell resin in DCM.
• Wash resin with 3% TFA/DCM (2x) (since the resin is swollen in DCM, this step of washing the resin quickly with 3% TFA/DCM ensures that the actual concentration of TFA is 3%).
• Shake the resin in 3% TFA for 10 min.
• Repeat step 3.
• Wash resin with DCM (3x), DMF (3x), isopropanol (3x), and DCM (3x).
• Let the resin dry in air.

多肽标记FITC方法
Reagents:
FITC
Fmoc-e-Ahx-OH

• Couple Fmoc-e-Ahx-OH to the amino terminal of the peptide-resin using standard coupling conditions.
• "De-Fmoc" with piperidine using the standard 20% piperidine procedure.
• Wash resin with DMF (3-4x).
• Swell resin with DCM and drain.
• Prepare solution of 1.1 equivalent of FITC in pyridine/DMF/DCM (12:7:5). Use just enough solution to form a slurry with the resin. Do not use too much solution since the rate of the reaction is proportionate to the concentration of the solution.
• Add the solution prepared in step 2 to the resin.
• Let mix overnight.
• Check the completion of the reaction using ninhydrin test.
• If the coupling of FITC to the amino group is not complete, ninhydrin test will give a blue color. Repeat the coupling with FITC (steps 5-7) if necessary.
• Wash resin with DMF (2x), isopropanol (2x), and DCM (2x).
