δ-Chymotrypsin catalyzes peptide-bond formation between acylated amino-acid and peptide esters as the carboxyl component and amino-acid and peptide amides as the amino component.The conditions under which enzyme-catalyzed coupling can be used for fragment condensation in peptide synthesis is investigated.To illustrate the method the synthesis of tetra-, penta and hexapeptides of the structure Ac-Lxn-...-Lxl-Lyl-...-Lym-NH2 with Lxl = Tyr, designed as substrates for α-chymotrypsin is described.
