A general approach for the non-stop solid phase synthesis of TAC-scaffolded loops towards protein mimics containing discontinuous epitopes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Feb 21:(7):821-3. doi: 10.1039/b817357e. Epub 2008 Dec 17.

Abstract

In this Communication, the access to three different peptide loops attached to a small triazacyclophane (TAC) scaffold molecule for the mimicry of discontinuous epitopes present in, for example, antibodies is described for the first time.
