Synthesis of Polypeptides with High-Fidelity Terminal Functionalities under NCA Monomer-Starved Conditions

Controlled polypeptide synthesis via α-amino acid N-carboxylic anhydride (NCA) polymerization using conventional primary amine initiators encounters two major obstacles: (i) normal amine mechanism (NAM) and activated monomer mechanism (AMM) coexist due to amine basicity and nucleophilicity and (ii)...
