The catalytic formation of peptide bonds with carbohydrate protein conjugates of proteases [CPC(proteases)

Abstract

This paper describes the use of carbohydrate protein conjugates of proteases [CPC(proteases)] for the catalytic formation of peptide bonds. We have found that CPC(proteases) are stable in organic solvents and perform at truly catalytic levels and have demonstrated a basis set of transformations that allow for convergent peptide synthesis.
