Summary
-
1.
The synthesis is described of a polypeptide containing the sequence glycyl-prolyl-hydroxyprolyl, isomorphous to the pseudocrystalline portions of collagen.
-
2.
The tetraethyl pyrophosphite method was found to be the best of the methods proposed up to now for the preparation of regular polypeptides from free peptides.
-
3.
In the course of the preparation of polypeptides by the tetraethyl pyrophosphite method the partial blocking of amino groups with phosphorus compounds occurs.
-
4.
The molecular weight of the synthetic polypeptide was determined by various methods; fractionation of the polypeptide with respect to molecular weights was carried out on Sephadex G-25.
