Peptide synthesis chemistry
Peptides chemistry is accomplished by coupling the carboxyl group of an amino acid to the amino group of a second amino acid molecule. Protecting groups are usually necessary because of the possibility of unintended reactions. In protein biosynthesis the peptide synthesis starts at the amino end. By contrast, in chemical peptide formation synthesis usually starts at the carboxyl end of the peptide, and proceeds toward the amino-terminus.
