C-terminal hydrazides are an important class of synthetic peptides with an ever expanding scope of applications, but their widespread application for chemical protein synthesis has been hampered due to the lack of stable resin linkers for synthesis of longer and more challenging peptide hydrazide fragments. We present a practical method for the regeneration, loading, and storage of trityl-chloride resins for the production of hydrazide containing peptides, leveraging 9-fluorenylmethyl carbazate. We show that these resins are extremely stable under several common resin storage conditions. The application of these resins to solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is demonstrated through the synthesis of the 40-mer GLP-1R agonist peptide “P5”. These studies support the broad utility of Fmoc-NHNH-Trt resins for SPPS of C-terminal hydrazide peptides.

The reversible and dynamic post‐translational modifications (PTMs) of histones in eukaryotic chromatin are intimately connected to cell development and gene function, and abnormal regulation of PTMs can result in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Specific combinations of these modifications are mediated by a series of chromatin proteins that write, erase, and read the “histone codes,” but mechanistic studies of the precise biochemical and structural relationships between different sets of modifications and their effects on chromatin function constitute a unique challenge to canonical biochemical approaches. In the past decade, the development and application of chemical methods for investigating histone PTM crosstalks has received considerable attention in the field of chemical biology. In this review, taking the functional crosstalk between H2B ubiquitylation at Lys120 (H2BK120ub) and H3 methylation at Lys79 (H3K79me) as a typical example, we survey recent developments of different chemical methods, in particular, protein synthetic chemistry and protein‐based chemical probes, for studying the mechanism of the functional crosstalks of histone PTMs.

Coupling reagents play crucial roles in the iterative construction of amide bonds for the synthesis of peptides and peptide-based derivatives. The novel DIC/Oxyma condensation system featured with the low risk of explosion displayed remarkable abilities to inhibit racemization, along with efficient coupling efficiency in both manual and automated syntheses. Nevertheless, an ideal reaction molar ratio in DIC/Oxyma condensation system and the moderate reaction temperature by manual synthesis remain to be further investigated. Herein, the synthetic efficiencies of different reaction ratios between DIC and Oxyma under moderate reaction temperature were systematically evaluated. The robustness and efficiency of DIC/Oxyma condensation system are validated by the rapid synthesis of linear centipede toxin RhTx. Different folding strategies were applied for the construction of disulfide bridges in RhTx, which was further confirmed in assays of circular dichroism and patch-clamp electrophysiology evaluation. This work establishes the DIC/Oxyma-based accelerated synthesis of peptides under moderate condensation conditions, which is especially useful for the manual synthesis of peptides. Besides, the strategy presented here provides robust technical supports for the large-scale synthesis and oxidative folding of RhTx.
