Abstract
Abstract An N-terminal nonapeptide fragment of bovine trypsinogen, H-l-Val-l-Asp-l-Asp-l-Asp-l-Asp-l-Lys-l-Ile-l-Val-Gly-OH, was synthesized via two routes and its susceptibility with trypsin was investigated. Protected derivatives, t-butyloxycarbonyl protected nonapeptide t-butyl ester and benzyloxycarbonyl protected nonapeptide benzyl ester, were prepared by stepwise elongation. Removal of the protecting groups was carried out by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid and hydro-genation respectively. The naked peptide was purified with chromatography on ECTEOLA cellulose column using dilute acetic acid as a solvent. Upon lyophilization the desired nonapeptide was obtained as colorless powder, a portion of the product being digested with trypsin. Rate of tryptic hydrolysis of the peptide was found to be unexpectedly low in the absence of calcium ion, while considerable acceleration of the hydrolysis by calcium ion was noted.
