title: Solid phase peptide synthesis of 15N-gramicidins A, B, and C and high performance liquid chromatographic purification.
abstract: Four single-site 15N-labeled molecules of gramicidin have been synthesized using the 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl method of solid phase peptide synthesis. Formylvaline was coupled as the N-terminal amino acid, and the peptide was cleaved from the resin with ethanolamine. Each synthesized gramicidin was purified in one step by semipreparative reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography and obtained in overall yields as high as 86%. The peptide was characterized by comparison with natural gramicidin using amino acid analysis, u.v. spectroscopy, and analytical high performance liquid chromatography.
