Addressing Sustainability Challenges in Peptide Synthesis with Flow Chemistry and Machine Learning

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 31, Issue 72, December 23, 2025.
A synthetic protocol for polypeptides 6–58 residue long, using recyclable greener solvent mixture (Anisole/DMSO) was developed and compared to traditional SPPS methods and to state‐of‐the‐art synthesizers. Abstract The high cost and the large amount of toxic waste generated during peptide production overshadow the current technology, requiring the ...
