Studies on the synthesis of nucleotidyl-peptides. II. The preparation of a nucleotidyl-peptide having a 5'-nucleotidyl-(P-O)-serine phosphodiester bond

The preparation of a nucleotidyl-peptide having a thymidine-5'-yl-(P-O)-serine phosphodiester bond, [H-Ala-Ser(pTpT)-Phe-OH](24) is described. After condensation between the phosphorylated peptide component and an oligonucleotide component, all protecting groups could be removed under neutral conditions without beta-elimination of the pTpT from the serine moiety.
