Purifications (to > 98 % +) were performed on a Waters HPLC preparative workstation with 2545 pump (at 20 mL/min) and using a C18 reverse phase column (Waters BEH 130, 5 μm, 19 × 150) and a gradient from 98 % to 50 % water-acetonitrile with 0.1 % TFA. Peaks were collected based on monitoring at 215 nm using a PDA 2998 detector. Combined product fractions were lyophilized, yielding a white fluffy solid. Peptides were then analyzed for purity by analytical HPLC on a C18 reverse phase column (Waters BEH 130, 5 μm, 4.6 × 150) with a gradient from 98 % to 20 % water-acetonitrile with 0.1 % TFA and by mass spectrometry on Thermo LTQ, Thermo Exactive and ABI 4800 MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometers, respectively, in ESI + mode. Additional data on the HPLC conditions and mass spectrometry identification are provided in the supplement.
