Investigation of Synthetic Proteins Produced via Automated Fast-Flow Peptide Synthesis by Cowfer, Amanda Elizabeth

“…Since the introduction of solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), the peptide community has endeavored to combine the convenience of flow chemistry with the iterative steps associated with peptide elongation in SPPS. Nearly one decade ago, members of the Pentelute lab envisioned and developed a flow-based peptide synthesizer, the Automated Fast-Flow Peptide Synthesizer, or AFPS for short. …”
