Long peptide synthesis


  Hefei novabio-chem provides custom peptide synthesis services for peptides up to 150 amino acids in length.

  In peptide synthesis, excessively long peptide chains often result in missing residues and difficulties in amino acid condensation. To address these challenges, we have developed three effective solutions to improve reaction success rates:

  1. Microwave Synthesis: For amino acids that are difficult to condense during synthesis, we employ microwave synthesis. This method is highly effective and significantly shortens reaction times.

  2. Fragment Condensation: When certain peptides are difficult to synthesize using conventional methods, we utilize a fragment condensation approach. This involves condensing several amino acids within a specific peptide segment into a single unit, which is then coupled to the main peptide chain. This method effectively resolves many synthesis challenges.

  3. Hydrazide Synthesis: This method involves a chemoselective reaction between the N-terminal Cys peptide (synthesized via solid-phase synthesis) and the C-terminal peptide hydrazide to form an amide bond, thus connecting the peptides. Depending on the position of Cys in the peptide chain, the entire chain is divided into multiple sequences, synthesized separately, and finally condensed via liquid-phase reaction to obtain the target peptide. This significantly improves the purity of the final product and is widely applicable to the synthesis of long-chain peptides containing Cys.

  Successful Case Studies:

  We have successfully synthesized a long peptide containing 101 amino acids with the sequence:
