X Abstract

Optimized coupling protocols are presented for the efficient and automated generation of carboxyfluorescein-labeled peptides. Side products, generated when applying earlier protocols for the in situ activation of carboxyfluorescein, were eliminated by a simple procedure, yielding highly pure fluorescent peptides and minimizing postsynthesis workup. For the cost-efficient labeling of large compound collections, coupling protocols were developed reducing the amount of coupling reagent and fluorophore. To enable further chemical derivatization of carboxyfluorescein-labeled peptides in solid-phase synthesis, the on-resin introduction of the trityl group was devised as a protecting group strategy for carboxyfluorescein. This protecting group strategy was exploited for the synthesis of peptides labeled with two different fluorescent dyes, essential tools for bioanalytical applications based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Tritylation and optimized labeling conditions led to the development of a fluorescein-preloaded resin for the automated synthesis of fluorescein-labeled compound collections with uniform labeling yields.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
