Fully protected 3,5-difluorotyrosine (F2Y), Fmoc-F2Y(tBu)-OH, is efficiently prepared by a chemoenzymatic process and incorporated into individual peptides and combinatorial peptide libraries. The F2Y-containing peptides display kinetic properties toward protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) similar to their corresponding tyrosine-containing counterparts but are resistant to tyrosinase action. These properties make F2Y a useful tyrosine surrogate during peptide library screening for optimal PTP s ...[more]
