The papain-catalyzed synthesis of leucine and MHBA co-oligomers was also explored. Synthesis of leucine oligomers and MHBA-leucine co-oligomers was initiated with leucine ethyl ester and MHBA ethyl ester as the substrates. The overall synthesis and purification approach was similar to the one used in the case of methionine and MHBA-methionine. Reaction rates similar to those obtained with methionine and tyrosine were achieved. Approximate oligomer yield was 58%. The freeze-dried oligomers precipitates were solubilized in DMSO. The solution concentration was brought to approximately 2 μg/μl. The solution was mixed with 1:1 acetonitrile:water mixture containing 0.1% acetic acid. The total fluid volume entering the ESI-MS was maintained at 0.2 mL min.−1 The positive mass spectrum of the leucine oligomers is shown in FIG. 33A.
