Article Title: Toward homogeneous erythropoietin: Non-NCL-based chemical synthesis of the Gln(78)-Arg(166) glycopeptide domain
Abstract: Single erythropoietin (EPO) glycoforms with defined mature oligosaccharide structures and amino acid sequences are essential to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which carbohydrates exert various physiological and metabolic functions and to explore the possible links between carbohydrates and the prevention or management of diseases. To demonstrate that it is possible to generate EPO even without recourse to cysteine-based native chemical ligation, a concise synthesis of the partially protected EPO fragment (78-166) bearing fully mature N- and O-glycans is described. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
