Synthesis of Phospholipopeptides
A crosslinking approach for the synthesis of phospholipopeptides under mild conditions

Bonan Li and Jun F. Liang, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, USA, report an approach to synthesize phospholipopeptides. They use a crosslinker with a thiol-reactive maleimide and an amine-reactive N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (pictured). Hence, the molecule is able to link the thiol group of the amino acid cystein in the peptide and the amine group of the phospholipid (phosphatidylamine).
