Use of enzymes in peptide synthesis.
Recent experiments in several laboratories have emphasized the benefits of proteolytic enzymes as effective catalysts for the formation of peptide bonds for synthesis and semisynthesis. This review summarizes successful applications in both stepwise synthesis for small peptides and fragment condensation to produce large polypeptides and proteins.
