Abstract

Phosphopeptides are generally prepared by incorporation of suitable, protected phosphoamino acid derivatives during peptide synthesis using routine coupling protocols. The feasibility of chemical synthesis of phosphorylated peptides by Fmoc-SPPS was greatly enhanced by the introduction of the monobenzyl protecting group for the phosphate group. This minimized β-elimination of the phosphate group and made Fmoc-based synthesis of phosphopeptides the preferred synthesis strategy. Described here is our strategy for the synthesis of phosphopeptides attached to the solid support PEGA via a backbone amide linker type. This linker allows removal of side-chain protection groups without releasing the phosphopeptide from the solid support, thus enabling solid-phase-based pull-down reactions and peptide-protein interaction studies.
