The retro-mannich cleavage of δ1,δ1'-tryptophan dimers
Biggs, Bluegrass,Presley, Alice L.,Van Vranken, David L.
, p. 975 - 981 (1998)
Under acidic conditions tryptophan sidechains crosslink to form δ1, δ1'-tryptophan dimers through a Mannich-type mechanism. Tryptophan dimers are readily cleaved at high temperatures under acidic conditions making it impossible to isolate tryptophan dimers under standard conditions of acidic protein hydrolysis. In a prescriptive sense this cleavage can be used to recover peptides that have undergone tryptophan crosslinking, although the yields drop with increasing peptide length due to competitive cleavage of the amide bonds. The best conditions for cleavage involve heating the dimeric peptides in dilute ethanolic HCl at 150°C in the presence of ten equivalents of ethanedithiol. Copyright (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Resolution of N-protected amino acid esters using whole cells of Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330
Stella, Selvaraj,Chadha, Anju
experimental part, p. 457 - 460 (2010/06/21)
Whole cells of Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330 were used for the resolution of N-acetyl amino acid esters. Excellent enantioselectivities (E = 40 to >500) were achieved for the resolution of N-protected protein and non-protein amino acid esters giving good yields (28-50%) and high enantiomeric excesses (up to >99%) for both enantiomers.
