Selective Enzymatic Removal of Protecting Groups from Phosphopeptides: Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of a Characteristic Phosphopeptide Fragment of the Raf-1 Kinase
A low-molecular-weight organogelator derived from (L)-amino acids was designed and synthesized. The (L)-alanine derivatives were determined to be excellent gelators, forming good gels even when smaller amounts were added. Self-molecular aggregates were observed to be helical or sheet-like, and the gels were constructed by forming aggregates by self-molecular recognition.
