pH-Dependent peptide bond formation by the selective coupling of α-amino acids in water

A novel mechanism enabling selective peptide elongation by coupling α-amino acids over other potentially competing prebiotic amines under acidic aqueous condition is suggested. It proceeds via the generation of a carboxylic acid anhydride intermediate with subsequent intramolecular formation of the...
