Studies on gliadin related peptides. I. Synthesis, purification and 1H n.m.r. characterization of the pentapeptide H-Tyr-(Gln)3-Pro-OH

Abstract
The pentapeptide H‐Tyr‐(Gln)3‐Pro‐OH has been recently postulated to be the basic repetitive unit of a sequential polypeptide contained in wheat bread α‐gliadins, which are believed to be toxic factors in coeliac disease, gluten‐dependent enteropathy. Solid‐phase synthesis, purification and 1H n.m.r. characterization in water solution of this peptide are described.
