11. Analyses of the synthetic peptides were carried out by RP-HPLC on a Vydac C18 column (250×4.6 mm, 5 μm) using a Waters HPLC System (Datasystem Millenium, HPLC pumps Waters 510, Detector Waters 486). Eluents were: 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (solvent A) and 0.07% trifluoroacetic acid in 95% acetonitrile (solvent B). The elution was performed by means of a linear gradient from 10 to 60% solvent B over 25 min at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The elution was monitored at 220 nm.
12. HPLC fractions were submitted to electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS) analysis using a platform single quadrupole mass spectrometer (Micromass). Samples were dissolved in 1% acetic acid in 50% acetonitrile and 2-10 μL were injected into the mass spectrometer at a flow rate of 10 μL/min. The quadrupole was scanned from m/z 300 to 1600 at 10 s/scan and the spectra were acquired and elaborated using the MassLynx software. All mass values are reported as monoisotopic masses.
