6 NovasynTG® resin (Tentagel) (loading 0.23 mmol g-1) in four polypropylene syringes (100 mg, 0.023 mmol per syringe) was swollen in DCM for 15 min. After removal of the DCM the first amino acid was coupled. Stirring of the reaction mixture at any given step (coupling/deprotection/cleavage) was performed by attaching the closed syringe to a rotating axis. Coupling of the Fmoc-protected amino acids

Fmoc-protected amino acid (3 eq.), PyBOP ((Benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidino-phosphonium hexafluorophosphate) (3 eq.) and DIEA (diisopropyl-ethylamine) (5 eq.) in 5 mL of DMF were added to the resin and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min for the first 2 amino acids (for the amino acids after 1 branching unit 60 min, after 2 branching units 90 min and 3 branching units 120 min; for branching units twice the reaction time was used). The resin was then washed (3 × each) with DMF, MeOH and DCM. The effectiveness of the coupling was monitored by TNBS (trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid) test.7

Resin mixing and splitting The resin was suspended in DMF/DCM (2/1, v/v), and mixed via nitrogen bubbling for 15 min and then distributed in four or eight (for A3 and A4) equal portions. Cleavage of the Fmoc protecting group

The Fmoc protecting group was removed with 5 mL of a solution of piperidine/DMF (1/4, v/v) for 10 min. After filtration the procedure was repeated and the resin washed with DMF, MeOH and DCM (3 × each). Acylation of bpy

To a solution of Fmoc-protected amino acid (12 eq.) in dry DCM (a few drops of DMF may be required for solubility) was added N,N’-disiopropylcarbodiimide (DIC, 12 eq.) under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at 0°C. The mixture was then directly added to the deprotected resin and stirred overnight. The resin was washed (3 × each) with DMF, MeOH and DCM. Side chain deprotection

Deprotection was carried out with TFA/H2O/TIS (95/2.5/2.5 v/v/v) for 4 hours. After removing the solution the resin was washed with methanol giving a strong violet staining of the beads. The color could be removed by washing the beads 3x for 10 min with 2M HCl before methanol washing. On-bead assay for Fe

2+-binding

50 mg of dry library resin were swollen in buffer (MES buffer pH 6.0, 20 mM) for 1 hour. The buffer was removed by filtration and 3 mL of a 30 µM solution of Fe(SO4) · 7H2O

was added and the resin was stirred for 5 min. The solution was then removed by filtration and washed with water (3 ×). The resin was suspended in H2O, transferred to a silica gel plate and the beads were observed under a microscope. Single red colored beads were transferred to amino acid analysis vials for sequence determination. UV-Vis titrations

1000 µL of a ca. 20 mM buffered solution (HEPES buffer, pH 6.5) of dendrimer was prepared in a gas tight cuvette at rt. The titration was carried out by adding portions of a stock solution of Fe2+ or Cu2+ (CuSO4·5H2O) (5.0 mM) with a gas tight syringe and waiting until no further change of the spectrum took place (equilibration time: ~1h for Fe2+-titrations; seconds for Cu2+-titrations). Data points were collected at 541 nm for Fe2+-titrations and at 335 nm for Cu2+-titrations and fitted with Boltzmann-fit. Formation of dendrimer-Fe

2+-complexes

Solutions of dendrimers were prepared in gradient grade HPLC water at concentrations of 1 mM each. The solution containing the metal ion was prepared by dissolving Fe(SO4)2(NH4)2 · 6H2O in gradient grade water, resulting in a concentration of 1 mM. For complex formation, the solutions were combined in the desired molar ratios, mixed thoroughly, and kept at room temperature for 1 h prior to LC/MS analysis. Synthesis, purification and characterization of peptide dendrimers The dendrimers were synthesized on Rink amide resin using the same coupling conditions as described for the library synthesis. After TFA cleavage, the solution was filtered and the dendrimers precipitated with MTBE. After the MTBE was removed, the dendrimers were dissolved in 3-5 ml water/acetonitrile and purified by RP-HPLC. Yields were calculated for the TFA salts of the dendrimers.
