Identify the structural and physicochemical determinants that cause incomplete coupling during solid-phase peptide synthesis and develop predictive models for difficult sequence assembly.
Evaluated sequence-dependent coupling efficiencies and aggregation phenomena across synthetic peptide targets.
Analyzed amino acid propensities for beta-sheet formation and interchain associations during step-by-step chain elongation.
Coupling failures strongly correlate with specific sequence motifs that favor extensive interchain beta-sheet aggregation.
Predictive modeling reliably forecasts problematic elongation steps, enabling strategic interventions such as alternate solvent selection or modified coupling reagents.
