I WONDER IF TRYING TO SYNTHESIZE THE POLYSATURATEDPOLYPEPTIDECYCUTRINE TURNS 0UT TO BE A STUPID WASTE OF TIME. YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT 20 YEARS AGO...MAN
Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis is a proper combination of solid supports protecting groups (handles/linkers) and coupling reagents

Next, SOCl2 (0.26 mL/g) is added dropwise and the mixture turns darker. Consecutively, DMF (5% w/w SOCl2) (10 mL/g) is added and the dark color lightens slightly. The mixture is stirred under Ar atmosphere for 4 hours at 38 ºC, and then washed

Conclusions • PEG resins as ChemMatrix are highly appropriate for the synthesis of peptides with structure and/or exhibiting interchain interaction • Barlos (CTC) resin is an excellent temporal protecting group for the preparation of protected amino acids • Cyclization on solid-phase is an efficient strategy. Even double cyclization gives good results • The most active reagent is not always the best
