Abstract

A home-built apparatus to perform solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), assisted by microwave irradiation and heating, is presented. In contrast to conventional SPPS reaction vessels, which drain solvent and byproducts via a frit located at the bottom of the vessel, the presented apparatus employs a gas dispersion tube under vacuum to remove solvent, byproducts, and excess reagents. The same gas dispersion tube supplies nitrogen gas agitation of the SPPS beads during the reaction steps of coupling and deprotection. Microwave heating is beneficial for SPPS couplings of sterically hindered residues, such as alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), an alpha,alpha-dialkylated amino acid residue. This home-built apparatus has been used to prepare, via manual Fmoc SPPS methods, heptameric and octameric peptides dominated by the Aib residue, which is notoriously difficult to couple under standard room temperature conditions and reagents. Further, typical commercial microwave SPPS reactors are dedicated exclusively to SPPS synthesis rendering them inaccessible to non-SPPS users. In contrast, the presented apparatus preserves the versatility of the microwave reactor for conventional microwave acceleration of chemical reactions, as the apparatus is trivially removed from the commercial microwave reactor.

期刊介绍: JoVE, the Journal of Visualized Experiments, is the world''s first peer reviewed scientific video journal. Established in 2006, JoVE is devoted to publishing scientific research in a visual format to help researchers overcome two of the biggest challenges facing the scientific research community today; poor reproducibility and the time and labor intensive nature of learning new experimental techniques.
