摘要
Synthesis of an N-terminal, 20 residue fragment of ferredoxin by Fmoc-tert-butyl strategy gave a product in which both aspartic acid residues in an Asp-Gly-Asp-Asn sequence were converted to aspartimide. Resynthesis of the peptide using N-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl (Hmb) backbone protection at each Asp-Xaa peptide bond resulted in near-complete suppression of this side reaction.
