Utilizing Copper-Mediated Deprotection of Selenazolidine for Cyclic Peptides Synthesis [PDF]
, 2019 Selenazoliline (Sez) was originally developed as a masking form of selenocysteine (Sec) for the chemical synthesis of challenging proteins. Here we utilize Sez and our recent reported copper(II)-mediated deprotection for the synthesis of cyclic peptides.
