title: Controllable core-shell-type resin for solid-phase peptide synthesis.
abstract: A simple, mild, and inexpensive biphasic functionalization approach is attempted for preparing an ideal core-shell-type resin. The core-shell-type architecture was constructed by coupling Fmoc-OSu to the amino groups on the shell layer of an aminomethyl polystyrene (AM PS) resin. The shell layer thickness of the resin could be easily controlled under mild conditions, which was characterized by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The efficiency of core-shell-type resin for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) was demonstrated by the synthesis of various peptides and compared with commercially available noncore-shell-type resins such as AM PS and poly(ethylene glycol)-based resins. The core-shell-type resin provided effective performance during the synthesis of hydrophobic peptide sequences, a disulfide-bridged cyclic peptide, and a difficult PNA sequence. Furthermore, a highly aggregative peptide fragment, MoPrP 105-125, was synthesized more efficiently on the core-shell-type resin under microwave conditions than AM PS and ChemMatrix resins.
