Abstract

Experiments with reduced-charge montmorillonites with gradually collapsed interlayer space prove that peptide formation processes occur mainly at the edges of the clay mineral. Activation of peptides and amino acids and the intermediate formation of cyclic anhydrides are found to be the two dominant processes determining the formation of higher peptides on the mineral surface.
