Mechanoenzymatic peptide and amide bond formation

No / Mechanochemical chemoenzymatic peptide and amide bond formation catalysed by papain was studied by ball milling. Despite the high-energy mixing experienced inside the ball mill, the biocatalyst proved stable and highly efficient to catalyse the formation of α,α- and α,β-dipeptides. This strategy was further extended to the enzymatic acylation of amines by milling, and to the mechanosynthesis of a derivative of the valuable dipeptide L-alanyl-L-glutamine. / We thank RWTH Aachen University for support from the Distinguished Professorship Program funded by the Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state governments.
