  • Publication number: 20260001907
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for synthesizing an amide and/or a polypeptide using a transient protected amino acid as an ammonia component. In this method, an allenone compound is used as a condensing reagent, and a silylation reagent is used to temporarily protect the carboxyl of an amino acid or peptide fragment with amino and carboxyl groups both unprotected first. Then after forming an amide bond with another molecular carboxylic acid or amino acid or ?-carbonyl alkenyl ester derivative of the C-terminal carboxyl of the polypeptide, the temporarily protected carboxyl is deprotected on site under an acidic condition to obtain a target carboxylic acid product and to cyclicly build new peptide bonds.

  • Patent number: 12169432
    Abstract: A device suspension method and a computing device are provided. In the method, before a device enters a suspended state, memory space occupied by a background process that is unrelated to a foreground process is released. In this way, the background process unrelated to the foreground process is not saved in a memory of the device. In other words, it reduces data stored in the memory when the device is suspended. Therefore, when the device needs to be woken up, only a relatively small amount of data needs to be read from the memory, and a working state can be rapidly restored. This can reduce a delay of reading data from the memory when the device is woken up, thereby accelerating a wakeup speed of the device. In addition, the data is stored in the memory when the device is suspended.
