Investigation of the Molecular Recognition of Amino Acids by Cyclopeptides with Reflectometric Interference Spectroscopy.

IR spectroscopic mapping of resin beads allows destruction-free characterization of polymer-bound combinatorial compound libraries. By choice of different absorptions for IR reconstruction, resin beads with common structural elements can be "fished out" of a library and statistically investigated.

Spatially Resolved Immobilization of Peptides by Electrochemical Polymerization after Photolytic Cleavage of a Protecting Group.

Microstructuring of surfaces: Electrochemical polymerization after removal of a photolabile protecting group (nitrobenzyl group) represents a new method for spatially resolved immobilization of ligands or receptors. Thus, the electropolymerization of 3-hydroxyphenylacetyl peptides such as 1 on electrodes can be controlled by light.
