Hi there!

I've recently synthesised a 34-amino acid polypetide using Fmoc chemistry and I am having problem purifying it. My HPLC chromatogram contains many peaks (mostly byproducts) and as I have identified the peak purifying it out is proving to be very difficult. The HPLC I use have as fractionator but I have to now collect it manually because the peaks are so close to each other. Eventhough I have acquired the proper peak, the MALDI mass spectrum analysis still indicate a few peaks present and it is not 99% pure. Do you have any suggestion as to how I can improve my purifcation method?

Parameters:

C18-column
Buffer A: 100% MQ water, 0.1% TFA
Buffer B: 80% MeCN, 20% MQ water, 0.08% water

Peptide elutes at 47% B.

Chromatogram is shown below.

Hoping to hear from you
