Abstract:
A method for synthesizing a peptide of the formula X-WQEWEQKITALLEQAQIQQEKNEYELQKLDKWASLWEWF-Z (SEQ ID NO:1) comprising reacting a side-chain protected peptide of the formula EQAQIQQEKNEYELQKLDKWASLWEWF-Z (SEQ ID NO:6) to yield a side-chain protected peptide of the formulaX-WQEWEQKITALLEQAQIQQEKNEYELQKLDKWASLWEWF-Z (SEQ ID NO:1); wherein the amino terminus of EQAQIQQEKNEYELQKLDKWASLWEWF-Z (SEQ ID NO:6) is deprotected with a side-chain protected peptide of the formula X-WQEWEQKITALL-COOH (SEQ ID NO:2); wherein X is a protecting group, an acetyl group or a macromolecular carrier group; and whereto Z is a protecting group, an amido group, or a macromolecular carrier group.
