Abstract
[see structure]. A fullerene derivative containing a free amino group has been condensed with N-Fmoc-L-glutamic acid alpha-tert-butyl ester to give a C60-functionalized amino acid. The carboxylic end of this amino acid has been deprotected in acidic conditions, and the resulting acid has been used for solid-phase peptide synthesis. The final peptide, cleaved from the resin, was very soluble in water solutions and showed antimicrobial activity against two representative bacteria.Entities:
