Abstract

The feasibility of the synthesis of assymetric disulfide-containing peptides on solid phase resins was investigated. Using a fragment of [8-arginine]vasopressin as a model, the conversion of the S-acetamidomethylcysteine-containing peptide-resin into the corresponding S-carboxymethylsulfenyl derivative followed by reaction with free cysteine was studied. Both reactions proceeded smoothly under mild conditions. After cleavage from the resin the peptide was shown to have the correct composition.
