Synthesis of Boron‐Rich Lysine Dendrimers as Protein Labels in Electron Microscopy

Abstract

A novel approach from dendrimer chemistry for the synthesis of marker molecules containing eight carboranyl amino acids (MeCBA) (see structure on the right) overcomes the known inconveniences in the syntheses of linear peptide constructs. Marker molecules of this type should be able to be used in electron microscopy. R = protected peptide terminus.
