| abstract |
The present invention relates to linker molecules of formula (1), X-Tb-Va-U-Y-Z (1) and a method for purifying peptides using said linker molecules. The linker molecule can be coupled to a purification resin via the moiety X and to a peptide via the moiety Y under the release of the leaving group Z. T is an optional spacer moiety and V is an optional electron withdrawing moiety. U is an aryl or 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl moiety bound to at least one electron withdrawing moiety V, W or E. The linker is stable under acidic conditions and releases the peptide upon addition of a reducing agent. |
