Peptide Synthesis Instruments

"Initiator + SP Wave - I think this is a remarkable small animal.Semi-automated, this is an ideal academic laboratory, making many exotic peptides and foreign objects everyday, which is a wonderful instrument We can greatly improve the performance on PNA and our material purity. "Professor Mark Bradley of the University of Edinburgh Chemistry

Activo-P11 Peptide Synthesizer is an easy-to-use, affordable device for synthesizing high-quality peptides. Activo-P11 is the only synthesizer available for automatic reactor heating and UV monitoring. These valuable synthesis tools allow chemists to synthesize longer and harder peptides and obtain more synthesis information on these peptides. For example, the antimicrobial peptide gomersin has been successfully synthesized using conventional heating.

In organic chemistry, peptide synthesis is the production of peptides with multiple amino acids bound by amide bonds, also known as peptide bonds. Peptides are chemically synthesized by a condensation reaction between a carboxyl group of an amino acid and an amino group of another amino acid. Protecting group strategies are often required to prevent undesirable side reactions with various amino acid side chains. Chemical peptide synthesis is most common at the carboxy terminus (C terminus) of the peptide and proceeds toward the amino terminus (N terminus). Protein biosynthesis (long peptides) in organisms occurs in the opposite direction

Peptides are typically synthesized in vitro from monomeric amino acids by condensation reactions that form peptide bonds. As shown in FIGS. 3-48, peptides were constructed by coupling the C-terminus of monomeric amino acids to the N-terminus of the growing peptide. A protective (blocking) group is attached to the side chain to prevent unwanted reactions involving side chain amino and carboxyl groups in the coupling step. Without these protecting groups, branched peptides will be produced. In the final step of the synthesis, side chain protecting groups are removed and the peptide is cleaved from the synthetic resin.

Synthesis of peptides is accomplished using chemical methods. Liquid peptide synthesis is the first discovery of scientists to produce peptides in vitro. The liquid phase peptide synthesis method typically used for large-scale peptide synthesis may be somewhat slow, but it provides the advantage of purifying the product in each step. Another method of synthesizing peptides is solid phase peptide synthesis. This strategy is also very popular, but it is quite different from liquid peptide synthesis. In liquid phase peptide synthesis, the C-terminus of the first amino acid is protected and in solid-phase peptide synthesis, the C-terminus of the first amino acid is linked to the C-terminus of the amino acid instead of protecting the C-terminus with a chemical group.
