Abstract
The synthesis of phenylalanine-containing peptidyl-tRNA is described. The method involves a reaction between the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of N-o-nitrophenylsulfenyl-l-Phen (n = 1-2) or N-o-nitrophenylsulfenyl-l-Phen-Gly (n = 1-3) and aminoacyl-tRNA and subsequent removal of the N-protecting group by treatment with Na2S2O3 in the presence of 6 M urea. Phe-Phe-[14C]Phe-tRNA was also prepared by the reaction between the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of N-monomethoxytrityl-Phe-Phe and [14C]Phe-tRNA. The monomethoxytrityl group was removed from the blocked peptidyl-tRNA under mild acidic conditions (5% dichloroacetic acid at 4°).
