Staudinger Ligation: A Peptide from a Thioester and Azide
摘要:
The technique of native chemical ligation enables the total chemical synthesis of proteins. This method is limited, however, by an absolute requirement for a cysteine residue at the ligation juncture. Here, this restriction is overcome with a new chemical ligation method in which a phosphinobenzenethiol is used to link a thioester and azide. The product is an amide with no residual atoms.

see text] The Staudingerligation can be used to couple a peptide with a C-terminal phosphinothioester to another with an N-terminal alpha-azido group to form a single peptide that contains no residual atoms. Here diphenylphosphinomethanethiol thioesters are shown to give high isolated yields for this transformation. This finding provides precedent for a powerful and versatile new method for the total
A method for generating a radiolabeled tracer. The method includes providing a phosphine molecule having at least one carbocyclic, aromatic, or pyrrolidinyl ring with an OH substitute. The OH of this phosphines molecule is then condensed with an acid to produce a phosphine ester. Staudinger ligation is then performed to generate the radiolabeled tracer by treating the phosphine ester with a radiolabeled azide having a PET radioisotope moiety.
