Synthesis of nucleotidylated poliovirus VPg proteins

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo100757t

Phosphitylation of the side chain hydroxyl function of Fmoc protected tyrosine with 5′-phosphoramidites of suitably protected cytidine, adenosine, and guanosine, followed by oxidation gave three novel nucleotidylated amino acid building blocks. After protective group manipulation, these building blocks were used in a solid phase peptide synthesis to afford the nucleotidylated poliovirus proteins VPgpC, VPgpA, and VPgpG.
