General description

H-Lys(Z)-OH also known as N6-carbobenzyloxy-L-lysine, commonly used as a reagent in the synthesis of peptides.

Application

H-Lys(Z)-OH serves as a reactant for the synthesis of various peptides such as boc-Glu(OBzl)-Lys(Z)-OH and tert-butyl-6-(((benzyloxy)carbonyl)amino)-2-bromohexanoate. Additionally, it is used in the Fuchs-Farthing method to synthesize lysine NCA, which is a block copolymer.

Biotransformations were developed to oxidize N epsilon-carbobenzoxy(CBZ)-L-lysine and to reduce the product keto acid to L-CBZ-oxylysine. Lysyl oxidase (L-lysine: O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.4.3.14) from Trichoderma viride was relatively specific for L-lysine and had very low activity with N epsilon-substituted derivatives.

Poly(epsilon-CBZ-L-lysine) can be mixed with biodegradable polymers such as poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) or poly(L-lactic acid) and formed into films, foams, or microspheres. Surface amino groups may then be deprotected with acid or lithium/liquid ammonia. The amino groups serve as a method

Microspheres were formed from blends of the biodegradable polymer poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) together with poly(epsilon-CBZ-L-lysine) (PCBZL) by a double-emulsification/solvent evaporation technique. The size of the microspheres formed by this method was dependent both on the total concentration of the polymers

Engineering new functionality into living eukaryotic systems by enzyme evolution or de novo protein design is a formidable challenge. Cells do not rely exclusively on DNA-based evolution to generate new functionality but often utilize membrane encapsulation or formation of membraneless
