General description

Aminomethyl NovaGel is a PEG-PS resin which has been designed to meet the requirements of organic chemists for resins of high substitution coupled with broad solvent compatibility. This support has a nominal loading of 0.7 mmole/g – almost twice that of comparable resins – but still retains most of the swelling characteristics of conventional PEG-PS supports. It is prepared from a special high-swell version of AM resin by partial derivatization with methyl-PEG-p-nitrophenylcarbonate [1]. Resin functionality is provided by residual aminomethyl groups. The urethane linkage between the PEG and the base resin is stable to strongly acidic, basic and reducing conditions, ensuring minimal loss of PEG chains during synthesis. Furthermore, because the linker is not attached to the end of the PEG chains, if leaching of PEG does occur, the product is not contaminated with U.V. absorbing linker-PEG fragments which can complicate the nmr spectra and HPLC profiles of products obtained with other PEG-PS supports.

Base Resins for Peptide Synthesis

The Novabiochem® product line has one of the most extensive ranges of polymer-supports for solid phase peptide synthesis. They range from high-loaded, lows welling for the large-scale production of relatively short peptides to high-swelling, low-loaded for the synthesis of long or difficult sequences.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
