In organic chemistry, peptide synthesis is the creation of peptides, which are organic compounds in which multiple amino acids bind via peptide bonds which are also known as amide bonds. Organic chemistry is a specific discipline within chemistry which involves the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of chemical compounds consisting primarily of carbon and hydrogen, which may contain any number of other elements, including nitrogen, oxygen, halogens as well...

Chemistry

Peptides are synthesized by coupling the carboxyl group or C-terminus of one amino acid to the amino group or N-terminus of another. In chemistry, a carboxyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbon atom doubly bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl (-OH) group, typically written as -COOH: where R is a hydrogen or an organic group. ...

Liquid-phase synthesis

Liquid-phase peptide synthesis is a classical approach to peptide synthesis. It has been replaced in most labs by solid-phase synthesis (see below). However, it retains usefulness in large-scale production of peptides for industrial purposes.

Solid-phase synthesis

Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), pioneered by Merrifield, resulted in a paradigm shift within the peptide synthesis community. It is now the accepted method for creating peptides and proteins in the lab in a synthetic manner. SPPS allows the synthesis of natural peptides which are difficult to express in bacteria, the incorporation of unnatural amino acids, peptide/protein backbone modification, and the synthesis of D-proteins, which consist of D-amino acids.

Small solid beads, insoluble yet porous, are treated with functional units ('linkers') on which peptide chains can be built. The peptide will remain covalently attached to the bead until cleaved from it by a reagent such as trifluoroacetic acid. The peptide is thus 'immobilized' on the solid-phase and can be retained during a filtration process, whereas liquid-phase reagents and by-products of synthesis are flushed away. Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a strong, hygroscopic, non-oxidizing, organic acid with a molecular formula C2HF3O2. ...

The general principle of SPPS is one of repeated cycles of coupling-deprotection. The free N-terminal amine of a solid-phase attached peptide is coupled (see below) to a single N-protected amino acid unit. This unit is then deprotected, revealing a new N-terminal amine to which a further amino acid may be attached.

The overwhelmingly important consideration is to generate extremely high yield in each step. For example, if each coupling step were to have 99% yield, a 26-amino acid peptide would be synthesized in 77% final yield (assuming 100% yield in each deprotection); if each step were 95%, it would be synthesized in 25% yield. Thus each amino acid is added in major excess (2~10x) and coupling amino acids together is highly optimized by a series of well-characterized agents.

There are two majorly used forms of SPPS -- Fmoc and Boc. Unlike ribosome protein synthesis, solid-phase peptide synthesis proceeds in a C-terminal to N-terminal fashion. The N-termini of amino acid monomers is protected by these two groups and added onto a deprotected amino acid chain. Figure 1: Ribosome structure indicating small subunit (A) and large subunit (B). ... The C-terminal end refers to the extremity of a protein or polypeptide terminated by an amino acid with a free carboxyl group (COOH). ... The N-terminal end refers to the extremity of a protein or polypeptide terminated by an amino acid with a free amine group (NH2). ... A Protecting group or protective group is introduced into a molecule by chemical modification of a functional group in order to obtain chemoselectivity in a subsequent chemical reaction. ...

Automated synthesizers are available for both techniques, though many research groups continue to perform SPPS manually.

SPPS is limited by yields, and typically peptides and proteins in the range of 70~100 amino acids are pushing the limits of synthetic accessibility. Synthetic difficulty also is sequence dependent; typically amyloid peptides and proteins are difficult to make. Longer lengths can be accessed by using native chemical ligation to couple two peptides together with quantitative yields. Yield in chemistry, also known as chemical yield and reaction yield, is the amount of product obtained in a chemical reaction. ... For other uses, see Amyloid (disambiguation). ... Native chemical ligation is a technique for constructing a large peptide from two smaller peptides, a C-terminal thioester peptide and a N-terminal cysteine peptide. ...

Boc SPPS

When R. B. Merrifield invented SPPS in 1963, it was according to the tBoc method. t-Boc (or Boc) stands for (tert)-(B)utyl (o)xy (c)arbonyl. To remove Boc from a growing peptide chain, acidic conditions are used (usually neat TFA). Removal of side-chain protecting groups and the peptide from the resin at the end of the synthesis is achieved by incubating in hydrofluoric acid (which can be dangerous); for this reason Boc chemistry is generally disfavored. However for complex syntheses Boc is favourable. When synthesizing nonnatural peptide analogs which are base-sensitive (such as depsipeptides), Boc is necessary.

Fmoc SPPS

This method was introduced by Carpino in 1972 and further applied by Atherton in 1978. Fmoc stands for (F)luorenyl-(m)eth(o)xy-(c)arbonyl which describes the Fmoc protecting group, first described as a protecting group by Carpino in 1970. To remove an Fmoc from a growing peptide chain, basic conditions (usually 20% piperidine in DMF) are used. Removal of side-chain protecting groups and peptide from the resin is achieved by incubating in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), deionized water, and triisopropylsilane. Fmoc deprotection is usually slow because the anionic nitrogen produced at the end is not a particularly favorable product, although the whole process is thermodynamically driven by the evolution of carbon dioxide. The main advantage of Fmoc chemistry is that no hydrofluoric acid is needed. It is therefore used for most routine synthesis.

The use of BOP reagent was first described by Castro et al in 1975. BOP-reagent is a reagent commonly used in the synthesis of peptides. ...

Solid supports

The physical properties of the solid support, and the applications to which it can be utilized, vary with the material from which the support is constructed, the amount of crosslinking, as well as the linker and handle being used.

Polystyrene resin

This is a versatile resin, which is quite useful in multi-well, automated peptide synthesis, due to its minimal swelling in DCM.

Polyamide resin

This too is a useful and versatile resin. It seems to swell much more than polystyrene, in which case it may not be suitable for some automated synthesizers, if the wells are too small.

Protecting groups

Due to amino acid excesses used to ensure complete coupling during each synthesis step, polymerization of amino acids is common in reactions where each amino acid is not protected. In order to prevent this polymerization, protecting groups are used. This adds additional deprotection phases to the synthesis reaction, creating a repeating design flow as follows: An example of alkene polymerisation, in which each Styrene monomer units double bond reforms as a single bond with another styrene monomer and forms polystyrene. ...

For other uses, see Chemical reaction (disambiguation). ...

Currently, two protective groups (Fmoc, Boc) are commonly used in solid-phase peptide synthesis. Their lability is caused by the carbamate group which readily releases CO₂ for an irreversible decoupling step. Dimethylformamide (DMF, N,N-dimethylformamide) is a clear liquid, miscible with water and majority of organic solvents. ... Carbamates are a group of organic compounds sharing a common functional group with the general structure -NH(CO)O-. More precisely the carbamate group is considered an amide group with an alkoxy or hydroxy functional group next to the carbonyl group. ...

Fmoc protective group

The Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethyl carbamate) is currently a widely used protective group that is generally removed from the N terminus of a peptide in the iterative synthesis of a peptide from amino acid units. The advantage of Fmoc is that it is cleaved under very mild basic conditions (e.g. piperidine), but stable under acidic conditions. This allows mild acid labile protecting groups that are stable under basic conditions, such as Boc and benzyl groups, to be used on the side-chains of amino acid residues of the target peptide. This orthogonal protecting group strategy is common in the art of organic synthesis. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

FMOC is preferred over BOC due to ease of cleavage and the avoidance of the dangerous gas HF; however it is less atom-economical, as the flourenyl group is much larger than the tert-butyl group. Accordingly, prices for FMOC amino acids were high until the large-scale piloting of one of the first synthesized peptide drugs, enfuvirtide, began in the 1980s, when market demand adjusted the relative prices of the two sets of amino acids. Enfuvirtide is a novel antiretroviral drug used in combination therapy for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. ...

Boc protective group

Before the Fmoc group became popular, the Boc group was commonly used for protecting the terminal amine of the peptide, requiring the use of more acid stable groups for side chain protection in orthogonal strategies. It retains usefulness in reducing aggregation of peptides during synthesis. Boc groups can be added to amino acids with boc anhydride and a suitable base.

Alloc protecting group

The allyloxycarbonyl (alloc) protecting group is often used to protect a carboxylic acid, hydroxyl, or amino group when an orthogonal deprotection scheme is required. It is sometimes used when conducting on-resin cyclic peptide formation, where the peptide is linked to the resin by a side-chain functional group. The alloc group can be removed using tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) along with a 37:2:1 mixture of chloroform, acetic acid, and N-methylmorpholine (NMM) for 2 hours. The resin must then be carefully washed 0.5% DIPEA in DMF, 3x10 ml of 0.5% sodium diethylthiocarbamate in DMF, and then 5x10 ml of 1:1 DCM:DMF.

Activating groups

For coupling the peptides the carboxyl group is usually activated. This is important for speeding up the reaction. There are two main types of activating groups: carbodiimides and aromatic oximes. A carbodiimide is a functional group consisting of the formula N=C=N. Carbodiimides hydrolyze to form ureas, which makes them rarely found in nature. ... Aromaticity is a chemical property in which a conjugated ring of unsaturated bonds, lone pairs, or empty orbitals exhibit a stabilization stronger than would be expected by the stabilization of conjugation alone. ... An oxime is one in a class of chemical compounds with the general formula R1R2 C N O H, where R1 is an organic side chain and R2 is either hydrogen, forming an aldoxime, or another organic group, forming a ketoxime. ...

Carbodiimides

These activating agents were first developed. Most common are dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC). Reaction with a carboxylic acid yields a highly reactive O-acyl-urea. During artificial protein synthesis (such as Fmoc solid-state synthesizers), the C-terminus is often used as the attachment site on which the amino acid monomers are added. To enhance the electrophilicity of carboxylate group, the negatively charged oxygen must first be "activated" into a better leaving group. DCC is used for this purpose. The negatively charged oxygen will act as a nucleophile, attacking the central carbon in DCC. DCC is temporarily attached to the former carboxylate group (which is now an ester group), making nucleophilic attack by an amino group (on the attaching amino acid) to the former C-terminus (carbonyl group) more efficient. The problem with carbodiimides is that they are too reactive and that they can therefore cause racemization of the amino acid. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

In chemistry racemization refers to partial conversion of one enantiomer into another. ...

Aromatic oximes

To solve the problem of racemization, aromatic oximes were introduced. The most important ones are 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole (HOBt) and 1-hydroxy-7-aza-benzotriazole (HOAt). Others have been developed. These substances can react with the O-acylurea to form an active ester which is less reactive and less in danger of racemization. HOAt is especially favourable because of a neighbouring group effect.^[1] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Newer developments omit the carbodiimides totally.

Synthesizing long peptides

Stepwise elongation, in which the amino acids are connected step-by-step in turn, is ideal for small peptides containing between 2 and 100 amino acid residues. Another method is fragment condensation, in which peptide fragments are coupled. Although the former can elongate the peptide chain without racemization, the yield drops if only it is used in the creation of long or highly polar peptides. Fragment condensation is better than stepwise elongation for synthesizing sophisticated long peptides, but its use must be restricted in order to protect against racemization. Fragment condensation is also undesirable since the coupled fragment must be in gross excess, which may be a limitation depending on the length of the fragment. In chemistry racemization refers to partial conversion of one enantiomer into another. ...

A new development for producing longer peptide chains is chemical ligation: Unprotected peptide chains react chemoselectively in aqueous solution. A first kinetically controlled product rearranges to form the amide bond. The most common form of native chemical ligation uses a peptide thioester that reacts with a terminal cystein residue. Chemical ligation is a set of techniques used for creating long peptide or protein chains. ...

Manual peptide synthesis can be accomplished in a fritted-filter reaction vessel with a three-way valve fitted onto a 1 L side arm vacuum flask by way of a 1-hole stopper. One valve is used to bubble nitrogen, which is first passed through a small column of Drierite, and then into the reaction mixture to agitate the solution and mix reagents. The other valve is used to evacuate excess reaction solutions and wash solvent using a vacuum flask. All glass pieces to be used in Solid-phase synthesis should be treated with a silanizing agent (such as 1-5% dimethyldichlorosilane in DCM) prior to use, to avoid accumulation of static charge, which makes the resin very difficult to handle.
