Event Details
Scheduled for
Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at
8 AM EST (2 PM CET), this webinar promises to be educational and insightful for those engaged in peptide synthesis and related areas. Attendees will have the chance to hear from leading experts, including Dr. John A. Karas from the University of Melbourne, Dr. Linda Haugaard-Kedström from PolyPeptide in Sweden, and PhD candidate Samuel J. Paravizzini.
What You Will Learn
The session will dive into several critical topics:
- - Backbone Protecting Group Strategies
Experts will detail various approaches using backbone protecting groups that can alleviate common synthetic inefficiency issues, such as reduced peptide chain solubility and aggregation that often undermine production efficiency.
- - Macrocyclization and C-terminal Modifications
Participants will learn how these protective strategies facilitate peptide macrocyclization and improve the handling of C-terminal modifications while enhancing robustness during solution-phase processing—a vital aspect of chemical protein synthesis.
- - Insights on Current Limitations
The speakers will discuss the limitations of existing techniques and propose future opportunities that could reshape the landscape of peptide synthesis through innovative backbone protection methodologies.
As solid-phase peptide synthesis continues to be a cornerstone for producing linear peptides—often containing up to 40 amino acids—the challenges surrounding chain insolubility and aggregation remain a primary concern. Such issues can lead to deletion impurities that are ultimately inseparable during chromatographic processes, thereby compromising the final product purity.
Why Backbone Protection Matters
Utilizing backbone N-protecting groups offers promising avenues to enhance synthetic yields by boosting solubility while limiting aggregation. They've been proven effective in suppressing common side reactions prevalent in peptide chemistry, including aspartimide formation. Their incorporation leads to improved processes not only in research environments but also in industrial applications, making them a staple for many labs.
The webinar aims to present concrete synthetic pathways utilizing backbone protection tailored for complex peptides and proteins of significant biological importance. Participants will walk away with actionable insights and a comprehensive understanding of how to apply these strategies effectively in their practices.
For those dealing with peptide synthesis—whether in academic research or commercial product development—this webinar is a must-attend. Don’t miss the opportunity to improve your understanding of peptide manufacturing challenges and solutions with expert insights.
