Core-shell-type resins for solid-phase peptide synthesis: Comparison with gel-type resins in solid-phase photolytic cleavage reaction

Novel core-shell-type resins with a rigid core and amino-functionalized flexible shell were prepared with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (CNC) and Jeffamine ED-600 starting from 1% cross-linked aminomethyl (AM) polystyrene resins. All of the amino groups were located outside the resin beads, and the loading capacity was 0.2-0.4 mmol/g. The amount of CNC treated was a determining factor in the properties of the final resins. The core-shell-type resins showed superior performances in terms of the initial loading of amino acid and the photocleavage reaction compared to the gel-type resins.
