Researchers from University of Lausanne describe findings in malaria
March 4th, 2009
According to recent research from Epalinges, Switzerland, "A new method for oxidative folding of synthetic polypeptides assembled by stepwise solid phase synthesis is introduced." "Folding is obtained in excellent, yields by reacting S-tert-butylthiolated polypeptides with a 100-fold molar excess of cysteine at. 37 degrees C in a slightly alkaline buffer containing chaotropic salts, and in the presence of air-oxygen. This novel protocol has been applied to the folding of S-tert-butylthiolated human thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (hu-TARC) derivatives as well as to larger segments of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite proteins....
