Sporopollenin. A novel, naturally occurring support for solid phase peptide synthesis.
Sporopollenin from Lycopodium clavatum has been found to be capable of acting as a solid support for peptide synthesis. It is stable to chloromethylation and to the standard deblocking procedures and its constant mesh size, ready commercial availability, and constant molecular structure give it potential important practical advantages over synthetic resins.
