Synthesis of a Tripeptide Containing a C-Terminal Aldehyde Moiety
Abstract
Naturally occuring peptides with C-terminal aldehyde functions have been shown to inhibit serine and thiol proteases possibly by reacting with the hydroxyl or sulfhydryl group in the active site. Tri-peptides were synthesized containing a C-terminal leucine residue with the aldehyde moiety to mimic the action of these natural inhibitors.
