Abstract
Bz(NO2)-Orn(Boc)-OCH2CN was synthesized as an amino acid component with effective and successful orthogonal protection for amino acylation of 5-O-Pivaloyl nucleosides and preparation of substrates for model ribosome reactions. The synthesis was carried out using suitable combinations of the methods of peptide synthesis and modification of amino acids.
Keywords: Conventional peptide synthesis, orthogonal protection, ornithine
