Site-Specific Peptide Acylation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dde-lysine was selectively deprotected by incubating the resin three times with 2% hydrazine hydrate in DMF for 3 min (400 r.p.m.), which also cleaved the Fmoc groups. Therefore, the N-terminus was protected by Boc in peptides not modified with fluorescein. Peptides were acylated at the lysine side chain by the addition of free fatty acid (2 equiv.), DCC (2 equiv.) and HOBt (4 equiv.) in 3 ml DMF and shaking at 400 r.p.m. for 1 h. Myristic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid were purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
