Pulsed column reactor as a novel tool for continuous enzymatic synthesis of peptide in an aqueous/organic biphasic medium

Abstract

We propose a novel effective method for a continuous peptide synthesis in an aqueous/organic biphasic medium using a pulsed column reactor. N-Formyl-l-aspartyl-l-phenylalanine methyl ester was enzymatically synthesized continuously. With this extractive method using a pulsed column reactor, we can synthesize peptides with a stable performance even if a peptide (or a peptide-amino acid complex) is precipitated due to its high hydrophobicity.
