The S30 extract from E. coli BL21 Star (DE3) used for cell-free protein synthesis removes a wide range of α-amino acid protecting groups by cleaving α-carboxyl hydrazides; methyl, benzyl, tert-butyl, and adamantyl esters; tert-butyl and adamantyl carboxamides; α-amino form-, acet-, trifluoroacet-, and benzamides and sidechain hydrazides and esters. The free amino acids are produced and incorporated into a protein under standard conditions. This approach allows the deprotection of amino acids to be carried out in situ to avoid separate processing steps. The advantages of this approach are demonstrated by the efficient incorporation of the chemically intractable (S)-4-fluoroleucine, (S)-4,5- dehydroleucine, and (2S,3R)-4-chlorovaline into a protein through the direct use of their respective precursors, namely, (S)-4-fluoroleucine hydrazide, (S)-4,5-dehydroleucine hydrazide, and (2S,3R)-4-chlorovaline methyl ester. These results also show that the fluoroand dehydroleucine and the chlorovaline are incorporated into a protein by the normal biosynthetic machinery as substitutes for leucine and isoleucine, respectively.

Glycine hydrazide as a bifunctional reagent for the synthesis of antigens with steroids as the immunodeterminant groups

The suitability of glycine hydrazide as a link between steroids and carrier proteins in the synthesis of antigens was examined. Testosterone was used as hapten; bovine serum albumin as carrier protein. The reaction described here of testosterone with glycine hydrazide to form testosterone glycylhydrazone acetate took place under mild conditions and the yield was nearly quantitative. Rabbits immunized with the new antigen developed specific antibodies against testosterone.
