title: Studies on trypsin inhibitors. Part VII. Synthesis of protected peptides related to sequences 1 - 14 and 36 - 52 of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal).
abstract: The synthesis, by fragment condensation, of protected peptides related to the N-terminal (positions 1-14) and C-terminal (positions 36-52) portions of the amino acid sequence of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal type) is described. The alpha-carboxyl function of the lysyl residue in position 14 was used as the free acid, or protected by the tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazide. Two different synthetic pathways were used in the preparation of the 36-52 sequence of the inhibitor. The identity and purity of the synthesized peptide derivatives were established by amino acid analysis of acid hydrolysates, optical rotation and this layer chromatography in two solvent sytems. The final products were also evaluated, after partial deprotection with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride or aqueous 90% trifluoroacetic acid, by paper electrophoresis at different pH values and enzymic digestion with papain and aminopeptidase M followed by quantitative amino acid analysis.
