Who invented Merrifield resin?
Merrifield resin is named after its inventor, Robert Bruce Merrifield (1984 winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry), and used in solid-phase synthesis.
What is Merrifield synthesis?
The synthesis of peptides and small proteins in which the resinous polymer supported amino acid and succeeding peptide repeatedly reacts with N-protected amino acids followed by deprotection until the desired peptide or protein is assembled is generally referred to as the Merrifield solid phase peptide synthesis (or …
Who discovered the process of solid phase peptide synthesis?
Inventor of solid-phase peptide synthesis. The death of Bruce Merrifield on 14 May 2006 brings to a close the life of one of the most original scientists of the second half of the twentieth century. Between 1959 and 1963, Merrifield revolutionized organic chemistry by his invention of solid-phase peptide synthesis.
What are the roles of Merrifield resin?
In particular, the chemical structure of Merrifield’s resin (MR) contains chloromethylene groups which allows its functionalization with a variety of organic molecules. This resin has been extensively used in solid phase organic synthesis because of its stability and swelling in different organic solvents.
What is Wang resin?
Wang resin is the standard peptide synthesis resin used with Fmoc- chemistry. The resin is acid labile and finished peptides can be easily cleaved by treatment with 50 % (v/v) TFA/DCM. These relatively mild cleavage conditions have made this resin popular also in solid phase organic synthesis.
