**Just got My Hands on some Crazy Results with Peptide Synthesis 🤔 - Need Biochem Help!**
Hey guys, I'm super stoked to share my latest experiment with you all. Been working on peptide synthesis for a while now and just got some crazy results that have me totally buzzing! Been trying to optimize the conditions for this particular sequence and finally managed to get it right 🎉.
The thing is, I'm not entirely sure what's going on here, and I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me (which is pretty much everyone on this forum) can shed some light. Essentially, I've been using a mix of Fmoc and Boc strategies for my syntheses, but it seems like the addition of a certain catalyst has totally flipped the script. My yields are way up, but I'm getting a weird byproduct that I just can't seem to get rid of. Has anyone else out there played around with this particular combination? Any advice would be super appreciated!
I've been pouring over my data and trying to figure it out on my own, but I'm starting to feel like I'm missing something fundamental. That's where you guys come in - I need your biochem expertise to help me make sense of all this!
