Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims to develop chemical catalysts that simplify the chemical synthesis of proteins. Specifically, we aimed to develop a catalyst that simultaneously activates a peptide C-terminal thioester and a peptide N-terminus and ligates them. As a result, we succeeded in finding catalysts that activate the C-terminus and the N-terminus respectively, but were unable to fuse them into a single catalyst while maintaining their activity. Based on the knowledge obtained in this study, we will focus on developing N-terminal activating catalysts that can coexist with C-terminal activating catalysts, in order to develop catalysts that will revolutionize and simplify protein chemical synthesis.
