The synthesis of polypeptides on solid phase via mediation by isonitriles is described. The acyl donor is a thioacid, which presumably reacts with the isonitrile to generate a thio-formimidate carboxylate mixed anhydride intermediate. Applications of this chemistry to reiterative solid-phase peptide synthesis as well as solid-phase fragment coupling are described.

This chapter describes the basic protocols for solid-phase peptide synthesis using the Fmoc group as the N (α)-protecting group (Fmoc-SPPS). The chapter introduces resins and their handling, choice of linkers, and the most common methods for peptide chain assembly. The proper choice of resins and linkers for solid-phase synthesis is a key parameter for successful peptide synthesis. This chapter...

in this study, hydroxyapatite (ha) nanocrystals have been synthesized via chemical precipitation technique. diammonium hydrogen phosphate and calcium nitrate 4-hydrate were used as starting materials and sodium hydroxide solution was used as the agent for ph adjustment. the powder sample was evaluated by techniques such as scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, fourier ...

This paper deals with the problem of mining very large distributed databases. We propose a distributed data mining technique which produces a meta-classifier that is both predictive and descriptive. This meta-classifier is in the form of a set of classification rules, which could be refined then validated by fine-tuning its rule set using a concept lattice. A detailed description of this method...

Here we report a simple procedure for generating colorimetric histone deacetylase (HDAC) substrates by solid-phase peptide synthesis based on racemization-free couplings of amino acid chlorides. We demonstrate the applicability of these substrates in HDAC assays.

The solution phase synthesis of N-protected amino acids and peptides has been achieved through the Group-Assisted Purification (GAP) chemistry by avoiding disadvantages of other methods in regard to the difficult scale-up, expenses of solid and soluble polymers, etc. The GAP synthesis can reduce the use of solvents, silica gels, energy and manpower. In addition, the GAP auxiliary can be conveni...

In the past decades, many methods have been developed to synthesize zero- dimensional  nanoparticles, quasi–one–dimensional (1D) CuO nanostructures, such as metal organic deposition technique,  microwave irradiation, sol-gel-like dip  technique, reverse micelle-assisted route, chemical method, and simple template free solution route. Among those synthesis methods, hydrothermal and chemical reac...
