Abstract
The principles and practice of solid-phase organic synthesis and combinatorial chemistry are utilized in a laboratory preparation of oligopeptides. A parallel synthesis scheme is used to generate a series of tripeptides. A divergent synthesis scheme is used to prepare two pentapeptides, one of which is leucine enkephalin, a neurotransmitter known to be an analgesic agent.

Christopher J. Nichols, Larry F. HanneJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (1), 87-90A multidisciplinary experiment has been developed in which students each synthesize a combinatorial library of 48 hydrazones with the aid of a liquid-handling robot. Each product is then subjected to a Kirby−Bauer disk diffusion assay to assess its ...

Nir Qvit , Yaniv Barda and Chaim Gilon , Deborah E. ShalevJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (12), 1988This laboratory experiment provides a unique opportunity for students to synthesize three analogues of aspartame, a commonly used artificial sweetener. The students are introduced to the powerful and useful method of parallel synthesis while synthesizing ...

Manual Solid–Phase Peptide Synthesis of Metallocene–Peptide Bioconjugates
Srecko I. Kirin , Fozia Noor and Nils Metzler-Nolte , Walter MierJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (1), 108Manual Solid–Phase Peptide Synthesis of Metallocene–Peptide Bioconjugates
Srecko I. Kirin , Fozia Noor and Nils Metzler-Nolte , Walter MierJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (1), 108We describe a simple procedure for the manual solid-phase synthesis of peptides. No expensive or specialized equipment is needed. Moreover, a variety of markers can be attached to the N-terminus. We describe two organometallic markers and a fluroescent ...

A Simple Combinatorial Experiment Based on Fischer Esterification. An Experiment Suitable for the First-Semester Organic Chemistry Lab
Peter A. Wade , Susan A. Rutkowsky and Daniel B. KingJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (6), 927A Simple Combinatorial Experiment Based on Fischer Esterification. An Experiment Suitable for the First-Semester Organic Chemistry Lab
Peter A. Wade , Susan A. Rutkowsky and Daniel B. KingJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (6), 927A combinatorial experiment for the synthesis of esters by Fischer esterification is described. A total of eight esters are prepared as six mixtures. Deconvolution of the mixtures is performed by smell, the presence of methyl salicylate (wintergreen) being ...
