Practical Insights into Overcoming Common Challenges in Peptide Synthesis
Join Vapourtec’s peptide scientists for a series of live technical webinars exploring practical solutions to challenging aspects of solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).
Each webinar focuses on a specific synthesis challenge, drawing on experimental data and representative case studies to demonstrate practical approaches to improving synthesis efficiency, crude purity and reproducibility using Fast-Flow SPPS.
Sessions include a 30-minute technical presentation followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A, providing an opportunity to discuss your own synthesis challenges with our scientists.
Upcoming Webinar
Fully Automated Synthesis of Branched Peptides
Date: Wednesday 9 December
Time: 15:00 GMT | 16:00 CET | 10:00 EST
30-minute technical presentation followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A
Branched peptides present additional challenges in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), requiring selective side-chain deprotection, multiple coupling steps and changes in solvent conditions. These additional processes can make synthesis time-consuming and labour-intensive, particularly when manual intervention is required.In this webinar, we demonstrate how Fast-Flow SPPS enables the fully automated synthesis of branched peptides. Using experimental results from representative syntheses, we explore how automated solvent switching, selective side-chain deprotection and subsequent coupling steps can be integrated into a single, unattended synthesis workflow.
What you’ll learn:
- Practical strategies for the efficient synthesis of branched peptides.
- How automated solvent switching reduces the need for manual intervention.
- Approaches to selective side-chain deprotection and subsequent coupling.
- Experimental results demonstrating fully automated branched peptide synthesis.
