7887protective groups (CBZ, formyl, and acetyl), including the easily removable ones; and (iii) various amino acid derivatives including both L-and D-isomers and dipeptides were utilized as nucleophiles.In summary, a radically altered stereospecificity of subtilisin in organic solvents affords facile enzymatic preparation, impossible in water, of diverse peptides containing D-amino acids, thus providing a new synthetic route to bioactive peptides.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
