In the years since the publication of Atherton and Sheppard's volume, the technique of Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis has matured considerably and is now the standard approach for the routine production of peptides. The basic problems outstanding at the time of publication of this earlier work have now been, for the most part, solved. As a result, innovators in the field have focussed their efforts to develop methodologies and chemistry for the synthesis of more complex structures. The focus of this new volume is much broader, and covers not only the essential procedures for the production of linear peptides but also more advanced techniques for preparing cyclic, side-chain modified, phospho- and glycopeptides. Many other methods also deserving attention have been included: convergent peptide synthesis; peptide-protein conjugation; chemoselective ligation; and chemoselective purification. The difficult preparation of cysteine and methionine-containing peptides is also covered, as well as methods for overcoming aggregation during peptide chain assembly and a survey of available automated instrumentation.

AbstractThe stability of proteins is an important factor for industrial and medical applications. Improving protein stability is one of the main subjects in protein engineering. In a previous study, we improved the stability of a four-helix bundle dimeric de novo protein (WA20) by five mutations. The stabilised mutant (H26L/G28S/N34L/V71L/E78L, SUWA) showed an extremely high denaturation midpoint temperature (Tm). Although SUWA is a remarkably hyperstable protein, in protein design and engineering, it is an attractive challenge to rationally explore more stable mutants. In this study, we predicted stabilising mutations of WA20 by in silico saturation mutagenesis and molecular dynamics simulation, and experimentally confirmed three stabilising mutations of WA20 (N22A, N22E, and H86K). The stability of a double mutant (N22A/H86K, rationally optimised WA20, ROWA) was greatly improved compared with WA20 (ΔTm = 10.6 °C). The model structures suggested that N22A enhances the stability of the α-helices and N22E and H86K contribute to salt-bridge formation for protein stabilisation. These mutations were also added to SUWA and improved its Tm. Remarkably, the most stable mutant of SUWA (N22E/H86K, rationally optimised SUWA, ROSA) showed the highest Tm (129.0 °C). These new thermostable mutants will be useful as a component of protein nanobuilding blocks to construct supramolecular protein complexes.
