Synthesis of Peptides Containing Modified Amino Acids

A wide range of modified amino acids may be incorporated into small scale synthetic peptides with the primary limitation being the commercial availability of the required Fmoc derivative. Because of the added expense of these specialized derivatives, many will incur additional charges as indicated below. Since incorporation of modified amino acids often will increase the difficulty of peptide synthesis, this may lead to lower yields of less pure intended product. In some instances the complications of incorporating the unusual amino acid can be minimized by its position in the peptide (e.g., we recommend that P-Thr or P-Ser be kept within 15 residues of the N-terminus of the peptide).
