Reactivity of PNA Thioesters in Chemical Ligation Reactions
Publication History
Publication Date:
22 February 2005 (online)
Abstract
The ligation rate and efficiency of PNA thioesters in the reaction with the pentapeptide CRYNK has been determined and proved to be substantially lower in comparison with the corresponding C-terminal glycine thioester.
Key words
native chemical ligation - thioesters - peptide nucleic acid - reactivity - convergent synthesis

On the basis of similar studies to assess the ligation efficiency of amino acid thioesters (see ref. 9) the pentapeptide CRANK was initially used. However, it proved to be impossible to resolve the PNA-conjugate of this peptide and the starting PNA thioester on RP-HPLC column.
