Abstract: | A simple yet highly effective application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization massspectrometry (MALDI-MS) for the rapid monitoring of Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesisis described. A few beads of the resin are removed at any desired step during synthesis, thefully protected peptide is cleaved from the resin and an MS spectrum of the analytes presentis produced. Some standard side-chain protecting groups may be cleaved off during samplepreparation for MS analysis; however, these cleavages are readily identified. Using thisapproach, incomplete amino acid acylations are readily detected in approximately the sametime as by traditional tests such as ninhydrin. The semi-on-line method also lends itself toready optimization of synthesis protocols and to the examination of resin-bound peptide sidereactions which may not be detectable by chemical means. |
