Interpretation:
The explanation of structural features of a linker, which make it possible for the polypeptide to be detached from the Wang resin using trifluoroacetic acid, is to be given.
Concept introduction:
In solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), peptides are prepared, residue by residue. The peptide is attached to
The polypeptide is finally cleaved from the polymer support and is purified by HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography). The Wang resin is used as polymer support for the batch synthesis of peptide acids following the Fmoc- or tert-Bu-protection. It is cleaved by TFA.
