Methods IOC, Bannwarth

Peptide Synthesizer	Model:	Peptide Synthesizer SP 4000-LAB Labortec AG
	Unit and Room:	Org. Chemistry, 1st floor, R. 221F
	Responsible:	Prof. W. Bannwarth, S. Mundinger
Synthesis	Further information:
Short Description: Semi-automated instrument for the solid phase synthesis of peptides.		Picture of the Equipment
Available Experiments/Techniques: Solid phase synthesis of peptides via BOC- and Fmoc synthesis methods on a scale of 0.2-5mMol. (Solvents and reagents are fed by gravity using special Boyle-Mariotte bottles). Incorporation of N-a-amino acids into a peptide of any desired sequence with one end of the sequence remaining attached to a solid support matrix.
Special Equipment: 2 different synthesis reactors for the built-in shaker (50 and 100 ml capacity)
Measurements on the equipment are currently done by:		Students after Introduction Trained scientific service personal
Recent Publications, where this instrument was important (citation):		E.K. Kainmüller, W. Bannwarth; Helv. Chim. Acta, 2006, 89, 3056-3070
Typical problems that may be solved with this instrument:		Synthesis of modified and non modified DNA-strands. Synthesis of DNA/RNA hybrids.
