Bruce R. Merrifield

The Origins There is a need for rapid, quantitative, automatic method for the synthesis of long peptides. A possible approach may be the use of chromatographic columns Where the peptide is attached to the polymer packing and added to by an activated amino acid followed by removal of protecting group, with repetition of the process Until the desire peptide is built up. Finally the peptide must be removed from the supporting medium. R.B.MerrifieldLaboratory note book (1959) JACS 85, 2149 (1963)

1. Peptide-polymer bond stable during synthesis 2. Temporary protection of the  -amino group 3. Permanent protection of the side chains 4. Efficient cleavage with simultaneous side chain removal A combination of protecting groups (N-, C-, side chains) that ensures: B. The protection scheme 1. Contains reactive sites that allow functionalization 2. Peptide-polymer bond must be cleaved efficiently 3. Stable to physical and chemical synthesis conditions 4. Good accessibility of the growing peptide chain to solvents and reagents A. The solid support Essetial aspects of solid phase peptide synthesis
