Convergent solution-phase synthesis of a nucleopeptide using a protected oligonucleotide

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A nucleopeptide was prepared in a convergent manner via segmental coupling of the protected biopolymers in solution. The resulting nucleopeptide (4b, 72%) containing the binding site of λ repressor and a peptide containing the consensus sequence of the DNA binding helix of the helix turn-helix-proteins was obtained using only five equivalents of the peptide relative to the oligonucleotide. This demonstrates that the recently developed method for the solution phase coupling of protected oligonucleotides is amenable to the convergent synthesis of larger nucleopeptides that are potentially capable of adopting secondary structure.
