High performance liquid chromatography: HPLC was performed on a Pharmacia Äcta basic system (pump type P-900, variable wavelength detector, type UV-900) by using the following columns: Analytical HPLC: Preparative HPLC: YMC J sphere ODS H-80, RP C-18 (250 4.6 mm, 4 µm, 8 nm) Phenomenex Synergi 4u Hydro-RP 80 Å (250 4.6 mm, 4 µm, 8 nm) YMC J sphere ODS H-80, RP C-18 (250 20 mm, 4 µm, 8 nm) Phenomenex Synergi 4u Hydro-RP 80 Å (250 10 mm, 4 µm, 8 nm) - 1 -
HPLC runs were performed with the following eluents: A (0.1 % aq. TFA), B1 (90 % aq. acetonitrile, 0.1 % TFA), and B2 (100 % acetonitrile, 0.1 % TFA). Two gradients were used. Gradient 1: a) 10 % B2 (6 min), b) 10? 26 % B2 (6 min); c) 26? 30 % B2 (12 min); d) 30? 44 % B2 (6 min). Gradient 2: 10? 40 % B1 (30 min). For analysis and purification HPLC grade acetonitrile and millipore water were used. Flow rates were 1 ml/min for analytical (column 250 4.6 mm), 5 ml/min for semi-preparative (column 250 10 mm), and 10 ml/min for preparative purifications (column 250 20 mm). UV detection was performed at 215 nm for fully deprotected peptides and at 280 nm for the hydrazone-containing peptides to detect hydrazone formation. 1.
