The α-chymotrypsin-catalyzed peptide synthesis via the kinetically controlled approach using activated esters as acyl donors in orgnanic solvents with low water content was presented. The methyl esters of N-Z derivatives of racemic non-protein amino acids were chosen as carboxy components. They allowed the peptide-bond formation and optical resolution simultaneously to yield homochiral peptides. This method is useful for the incorporation of non-protein amino acids into peptides.
