The principles of phenol oxidation are outlined and summarized. Various procedures were used to dimerize tyrosine derivatives, especially linear tripeptides and cyclohexapeptides, via cross-linking of their phenolic side-chains. The coupling was performed by potassium hexacyanoferrate(III), phenyliodine(III)-bis(trifluoroacetate), vanadium(V)-oxyfluoride or horseradish peroxidase. The individual dityrosine and isodityrosine derivatives obtained in preparative scale, as well as the peptide-dimer libraries generated, were characterized by HPLC and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Further analyses were carried out by NMR spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and gas chromatography.
