Ferrocene Constrained Helical Peptides Via On-Resin Cyclization, Thomas A. Mcteague
Ferrocene Constrained Helical Peptides Via On-Resin Cyclization, Thomas A. Mcteague
Senior Theses and Projects
Previous research within the Curran group has demonstrated that ferrocene may be used as an organometallic constraint to induce the formation of α-helices in short peptides which traditionally possess undefined conformations. Through strategic placement of lysine residues at the i and i+3 positions within the peptide, such a constraint was accomplished via the crosslinking of the lysine side chains to ferrocene dicarboxylic acid chloride in solution phase synthesis. The aim of this work was to develop a method for solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) for the synthesis of these ferrocene-constrained helices. In particular, we seek to develop a method in …
