SPPS & reaction product

  1. a The standard single letter code for amino acids is used; O is for ornithine, Ac- is for acetylated N-terminus and –NH2 for amidated C-terminus
  2. b SPPS peptides were synthesized as described in the methods. The tabulated reaction products only include those most discussed in the manuscript
