Tetra- and hexapeptides containing Pro-Gly or Gly-Pro or Aib-Pro in their sequences were synthesized using the liquid-phase method. The high solubility of the poly(ethylene glycol) bound peptides in water and in organic solvents enables the application of the singlet-singlet energy transfer method for conformational investigation of these peptides. The conformational study in solid state by IR and in solution by CD were carried out in parallel to the energy transfer method. The qualitative results generated by IR and CD were found to be in good agreement with the quantitative end-to-end distances given by the energy transfer method.

Elastin-like peptides were synthesized by the liquid-phase method using poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (PEGM) (m.w. 5 000) as solubilizing support which provides an alternative possibility for conformational studies and spectroscopic measurements in solution. The following sequences were synthesized: Boc-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-APEGM, Boc-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly-Val-APEGM, Boc-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly-Val-APEGM, Boc-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly-Val-APEGM.

A 3,5-didocosyloxybenzyl alcohol tag that was introduced at the anomeric position of the carbohydrate acceptor was applied in the assembly of a pentasaccharide. The intrinsic high solubility in nonpolar solvent and precipitation properties in polar solvent are crucial features of this tag. Thus, rapid and simple precipitation-centrifugation can be conducted throughout the synthetic route at each step to ease work-up and purification processes, and reduce the amount of solvent required. This method provides an efficient, environmental-friendly, and economical approach to synthesize complex oligosaccharides.
