Abstract

Mono- and di-substituted triazines were appended to the side chain of lysine or ornithine, which was then used in the synthesis of peptides. In this way, environment-sensitive reporter groups can be included in a sequence-specific manner in a peptide. The triazine adducts are stable to standard conditions employed in peptide synthesis. Several model peptides showing the utility of these conjugates were prepared

Keywords: triazine, peptides, aminochlorotriszines, fluorophores, ornithine
