Trifluoroacetic Acid as a Peptide Solvent*
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method employing reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography has been developed for the purification of large denatured peptides. The cyanogen bromide fragments of hemoglobin a, 8, and y chains (13 to 91 residues in length) could be separated and recovered in 71 to 95% yields using LiChrosorb C-8 columns and a binary solvent system consisting of 0.013 M trifluoroacetic acid in water and a limiting organic solvent. This procedure permits the nondestructive detection of peptides at low wavelength (210 nm) on as little as 50 ng of sample. The peptides are recovered directly by evaporation or lyophilization. An elutropic solvent series for the separation of large and small peptides on reverse phase supports i also described.

Co-assembly of cyclic peptide nanotubes and block copolymers in thin films: controlling the kinetic pathway.
Directed co-assembly of polymer-conjugated cyclic peptide nanotubes (CPNs) and block copolymers in thin films is a viable approach to fabricate sub-nanometer porous membranes without synthesizing nanotubes with identical length and vertical alignment. Here we show that the process is pathway dependent and successful co-assembly requires eliminating CPNs larger than 100 nm in solution. Optimizin...
متن کاملSynthesis of mixed acid anhydrides from methane and carbon dioxide in acid solvents.
[reaction: see text] The reaction of CH(4) with CO(2) has been performed in anhydrous acids using VO(acac)(2) and K(2)S(2)O(8) as promoters. NMR analysis establishes that the primary product is a mixed anhydride of acetic acid and the acid solvent. In sulfuric acid, the overall reaction is CH(4) + CO(2) + SO(3) --> CH(3)C(O)-O-SO(3)H. Hydrolysis of the mixed anhydride produces acetic acid and t...
متن کاملEffects of protonation and hydrogen bonding on carbon-13 chemical shifts of compounds
MALWINA LLEN and JOHN D. ROBERTS. Can. J. Chem. 59,451 (1981). The effects of hydrogen bonding and protonation produced by changing solvent from chloroform to 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol to trifluoroacetic acid were determined for the 13C chemical shifts of fourteen imines, four oximes, and two pyridines. Downfield shifts relative to chloroform were observed for the C=N carbon of the imines and oxim...

متن کاملβ-amyloid infusion into lateral ventricle alters behavioral thermoregulation and attenuates acquired heat tolerance in rats
We investigated behavioral thermoregulatory function and acquired heat tolerance of β-amyloid (Aβ)-infused rats. Male Wistar rats were anesthetized and implanted in the intraperitoneal cavity with a temperature transmitter. Aβ peptide (4.9-5.5 nmol) was dissolved in a solvent of 35% acetonitrile and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (pH 2.0). The solvent was used as the vehicle. An osmotic pump contain...
