五、多肽常识
Reconstitution and Storage of Peptides
Peptides are usually supplied as a fluffy, freeze-dried material in serum vials. Store peptides in a freezer after they have been received. In order to reconstitute the peptide, distilled water or a buffer solution should be utilized. Some peptides have low solubility in water and must be dissolved in other solvents such as 10% acetic acid for a positively charged peptide or 10% ammonium bicarbonate solution for a negatively charged peptide. Other solvents that can be used for dissolving peptides are acetonitrile, DMSO, DMF, or isopropanol. Use the minimal amount of these non-aqueous solvents and add water or buffer to make up the desired volume. After peptides are reconstituted, they should be used as soon as possible to avoid degradation in solution. Unused peptide should be aliquoted into single-use portions, relyophilized if possible, and stored at -20°C. Repeated thawing and refreezing should be avoided. Methods to Dissolve Peptides
The best way to dissolve a peptide is to use water. For peptides that are not soluble in water, use the following procedure:
1. For acidic peptides, use a small amount of base such as 10% ammonium bicarbonate to
dissolve the peptide, dilute with water to the desired concentration. Do not use base for cysteine-containing peptides.
2. For basic peptides, use a small amount of 30% acetic acid, dilute with water to the desired
concentration.
3. For a very hydrophobic peptide, try dissolving the peptide in a very small amount of DMSO,
dilute with water to the desired concentration.
4. For peptides that tend to aggregate (usually peptides containing cysteines), add 6 M urea, 6 M
urea with 20% acetic acid, or 6 M guanidine?HCl to the peptide, then proceed with the necessary dilutions.

o Weigh 13.5 g anhydrous HOBt (0.1 mol, MW 135.1) [100 g, AnaSpec Catalog # 21003;
500 g, AnaSpec Catalog # 21004] into a 250 mL graduated cylinder.

AnaSpec Catalog # 21001; 500 g, AnaSpec Catalog # 21002] contained in a beaker or an Erlenmayer flask.
3. Stir for about 15 min with a magnetic stirring bar until HBTU is dissolved. 4. Filter the solution through a fine pore size sintered glass funnel.
5. Pour the filtered solution into an appropriate bottle for attachment to a peptide synthesizer.

3. Add 2.1 mL 0.45 M HBTU/HOBt solution and 0.3 mL DIEA to the solution prepared in step 2. 4. Add the activated biotin solution to the resin and let stir overnight.
5. Check resin to make sure coupling is complete as evidenced by negative ninhydrin test

6. Wash resin with DMF-DMSO (1:1) (2x) to remove excess (+)-biotin. 7. Wash resin with DMF (2x) and DCM (2x). 8. Let the resin dry before proceeding to cleavage.
Procedure for Loading Fmoc-Amino Acid to 2-Chlorotrityl Chloride Resin
1. Weigh 10 g 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin (15 mmol) [1 g, AnaSpec Catalog # 22229; 5 g, AnaSpec
Catalog # 22230] in a reaction vessel, wash with DMF (2x), swell the resin in 50 mL DMF for 10 min, drain vessel.
2. Weigh 10 mmol Fmoc-amino acid in a test tube, dissolve Fmoc-amino acid in 40 mL DMF,
transfer the solution into the reaction vessel above, add 8.7 mL DIEA (50 mmol), swirl mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
3. Add 5 mL methanol into the reaction vessel and swirl for 5 min. 4. Drain and wash with DMF (5x). 5. Check substitution.
6. Add 50 mL 20% piperidine to remove the Fmoc group. Swirl mixture for 30 min.
7. Wash with DMF (5x), DCM (2x), put resin on tissue paper over a foam pad and let dry at room
temperature overnight under the hood. Cover the resin with another piece of tissue paper, press lightly to break aggregates. 8. Weigh loaded resin.
9. Pack in appropriate container.
Procedure for Checking Substitution of Fmoc-Amino Acid Loaded Resins
1. Weigh duplicate samples of 5 to 10 mg loaded resin in an eppendorf tube, add 1.00 mL 20%

2. Transfer 100 μL of the above solution into a tube containing 10 mL DMF, mix well. 3. Pipette 2 mL DMF into each of the two cells (reference cell and sample cell), set
spectrophotometer to zero. Empty the sample cell, transfer 2 mL of the solution from step 2 into the sample cell, check absorbance. 4. Subs = 101(A)/7.8(w)
A = absorbance w = mg of resin
5. Check absorbance three times at 301 nm, calculate average substitution.

the coupling time if necessary.
Synthesis of Phosphotyrosine-Containing Peptides Using Fmoc-Phosphotyrosine
Reagent: N-?-Fmoc-O-phosphotyrosine [1 g, AnaSpec Catalog # 20254; 5 g, AnaSpec Catalog # 20255]
1. For 0.1 mmol or 0.25 mmol synthesis, use 0.483 g Fmoc-Tyr(PO3H2)-OH (1 mmol, MW 483.4) .
For ABI synthesizers, pack Fmoc-Tyr(PO3H2)-OH in a cartridge.
2. The cycle program for coupling Fmoc-Tyr (PO3H2)-OH is the same as for other Fmoc-amino
acids except for the coupling time (see step 3). (Note: ABI synthesizers use HBTU/HOBT as the activating reagent.)
3. The coupling time for Fmoc-Tyr(PO3H2)-OH needs to be increased. For ABI model 430A
peptide synthesizer, insert several steps (i.e., vortex on, wait 990 sec, vortex off, to increase the coupling time). For ABI model 431A peptide synthesizer, add additional \may be necessary for some sequences.
4. After the coupling step for Fmoc-Tyr(PO3H2)-OH, perform ninhydrin test to ensure complete
coupling. Negative (colorless) ninhydrin test indicates complete coupling, while a positive (blue) ninhydrin test indicates incomplete coupling.
5. Increase the coupling time of the amino acid residues after the phosphotyrosine or perform
double coupling. (Note: The coupling of amino acids after the phosphotyrosine can be difficult.) 6. There is a limit on the number of amino acid residues that can be coupled after the
hosphotyrosine. Since the phospho group is unprotected, side reactions are likely to ccur. (Note: Peptides have been successfully coupled with sequences containing up o ten additional amino acids following the phosphotyrosine residue.)
