High-internal-phase-ratio-emulsions (HIPREs) or gel emulsions, formulated with a large amount of water (80.0–99.5% w/w), were investigated as reaction media for α-chymotrypsin-catalysed peptide synthesis under kinetic control using Ac-L-Phe-OEt and H-L-Leu-NH2 as model substrates. Both the initial reaction rate and dipeptide yield were examined as a function of the structure of the non-ionic polyoxyethylene alkyl ether type surfactant, alkyl chain length of the oil component, temperature and aqueous buffer content. Dipeptide yields of 70% were achieved in gel emulsions formulated with 90% w/w aqueous buffer. In these systems, the reaction performance was found to be independent of the gel emulsion system (i.e. surfactant and oil) and therefore of the water–oil interfacial tension. Interestingly, α-chymotrypsin showed superactivity at surfactant concentrations ranging between 0.2 and 0.8% w/w, that is, at 99.5
and 98.0% w/w water content, respectively. Furthermore, high dipeptide yields (90–94%) were achieved in the gel emulsions studied at very high substrate concentrations and thus with undissolved reactants. Under these conditions, examples of α-chymotrypsin-catalysed dipeptide synthesis on an analytical and preparative scale were conducted.
使用大量水(80.0–99.5% w/w)配制的高内相比乳液 (HIPRE) 或凝胶乳液作为反应介质,在动力学控制下研究了 α-胰凝乳蛋白酶催化的肽合成Ac-L-Phe-OEt 和 H-L-Leu-NH2 作为模型底物。检测初始反应速率和二肽产率作为非离子聚氧乙烯烷基醚型表面活性剂的结构、油组分的烷基链长度、温度和水性缓冲液含量的函数。在用 90% w/w 水性缓冲液配制的凝胶乳液中,二肽产率达到 70%。在这些系统中,发现反应性能与凝胶乳液系统(即表面活性剂和油)无关,因此与水油界面张力无关。有趣的是,α-胰凝乳蛋白酶在表面活性剂浓度范围为 0.2 至 0.8% w/w(即 99.5)时表现出超活性。
和 98.0% w/w 含水量。此外,在非常高的底物浓度和不溶解的反应物下研究的凝胶乳液中实现了高二肽产率(90-94%)。在这些条件下,进行了分析和制备规模的 α-胰凝乳蛋白酶催化二肽合成的实例。
