Synthesis of some tri-, tetra-, and penta-peptide sequences of fibrinogen by the picolyl ester method
Abstract
Peptide sequences corresponding to units 1–5 (C chain) and positions 13–16,15–17, 17–19, and 20–23 (A chain) of the fibrinogen molecule have been synthesised. The use of the 4-picolyl ester group for carboxy-terminal protection has simplified the synthesis of protected intermediates.
