C-terminal peptide amidation catalyzed by orange flavedo peptide amidase
Cerovsky, Vaclav,Kula, Maria-Regina
, p. 1885 - 1887 (1998)
The reverse reaction of amide hydrolysis can be achieved with the peptide amidase derived from oranges [Eq(1); Z=benzyloxycarbonyl]. The C-terminal carboxy group of the peptide is directly converted into an amide group by condensation with an ammonium salt. The amidation of peptides is of major interest since the biological activity of proteohormones and peptides is strongly influenced by the presence of a C-terminal amide group.

Endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2, EM-1), an effective analgesic, was efficiently synthesized by a combination of enzymatic and chemical methods. Peptide Boc-Trp-Phe-NH2 was synthesized with a high yield of 97.1% by the solvent-stab
Activation of carboxylic acids by pyrocarbonates. Application of di-tert-butyl pyrocarbonate as condensing reagent in the synthesis of amides of protected amino acids and peptides
Pozdnev, Vladimir F.
, p. 7115 - 7118 (2007/10/02)
Amides formation from protected amino acids and peptides was achieved in an easy and convenient one-pot procedure using di-tert-butyl pyrocarbonate as activating agent in the presence of pyridine and ammonium hydrogencarbonate. The method gave good yields and did not induce racemization during the amidation of urethane protected amino acids.
