Dear experts, I want to reversibly protect an amino group in a quite sensitive molecule, in a reaction in the gram scale. I came across maleic anhydride and itaconic (methylmaleic) anhydride. Any ideas which one is more convenient to use (and to get rid of)? Is there a major difference between them, actually? Both are introduced in alkaline conditions (pH 9) and removed with a not too acidic buffer (pH 3)
Many thanks for your suggestions! Wo _______________________________________________ Methods mailing list Methods@net.bio.net http://www.bio.net/biomail/listinfo/methods
