derivative compatible with both Boc and Fmoc protection schemes, has been examined for
solid-phase peptide synthesis. The Phacm group has the same properties as
acetamidomethyl (Acm) and in addition is cleaved by the action of the enzyme penicillin
amidohydrolase. Thus, Phacm is orthogonal with the common cysteine-protecting groups,
such as 4-methylbenzyl (p-MeBzl), trityl (Trt) and fluorenylmethyl (Fm).
