Abstract

The currently synthetic methods of peptide heterodimer involve tedious synthesis and purification steps. An acid-labile traceless linker was prepared, which is highly compatible with the Fmoc strategy and could be used to prepare peptide heterodimer on resin. The linker could be cleaved concomitantly with peptide cleavage, and two model heterodimers were synthesized. The proposed synthesis procedure is simple, straightforward, and provides great convenience for preparing disulfide-linked peptide heterodimers.
