| Abstract | The use of 2-methoxy-4-methylsulfinylbenzyl (Mmsb) as a new backbone amide-protecting group that acts as a safety-catch structure is proposed. Mmsb, which is stable during the elongation of the sequence and trifluoroacetic acid-mediated cleavage from the resin, improves the synthetic process as well as the properties of the quasi-unprotected peptide. Mmsb offers the possibility of purifying and characterizing complex peptide sequences, and renders the target peptide after $NH_{4}I/TFA$ treatment and subsequent ether precipitation to remove the cleaved Mmsb moiety. First, the “difficult peptide” sequence $H-(Ala)_{10}-NH_{2}$ was selected as a model to optimize the new protecting group strategy. Second, the complex, bioactive $Ac-(RADA)_{4}-NH_{2}$ sequence was chosen to validate this methodology. The improvements in solid-phase peptide synthesis combined with the enhanced solubility of the quasi-unprotected peptides, as compared with standard sequences, made it possible to obtain purified $Ac-(RADA)_{4}-NH_{2}.$ To extend the scope of the approach, the challenging Aβ(1-42) peptide was synthesized and purified in a similar manner. The proposed Mmsb strategy opens up the possibility of synthesizing other challenging small proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
