The invention relates to a
reagent for
cutting peptides, in particular to a
reagent for
cutting sulfydryl-containing peptides from resins. In addition, the invention also relates to a method for
cutting sulfydryl-containing polypeptides from resins, which is suitable for industrial production of sulfydryl-containing polypeptides. The
reagent for cutting sulfydryl-containing polypeptides from resins comprises the following components in parts by weight: 85-95 parts of
trifluoroacetic acid, 1-5 parts of triisopropylsilane, 1-4 parts of mercaptoundecanoic acid, 1-4 parts of
phenol and 1-2 parts of water. The invention has the advantages that because
ethanedithiol is a chemical reagent which is not produced at home, the cost of the
ethanedithiol is expensive, and the
ethanedithiol has effluvial smell in the reaction process; in the invention,
mercaptopropionic acid is used for replacing the conventional ethanedithiol, thus the production cost can be lowered, the environment
pollution is greatly reduced, and simultaneously, the effect of the
peptide cutting reaction can also be improved; and meanwhile, the invention has the characteristics of low procurement cost, reduction of the three wastes, good crude
peptide quality and the like, and is very suitable for industrial production of sulfydryl-containing polypeptides.
