Fig. S1 HPLC chromatogram of the separation of the two diastereoisomers V and VI.

Peptide purification was performed by reverse phase HPLC on a Delta Pak Waters C18-100Å silica column (solvent A: water + 0.1% TFA; solvent B: 90% acetonitrile + 0.1% TFA) with a linear gradient of 10-35% (v/v) B over 15 min. Peptide homogeneity (>95%) was determined by analytical HPLC on a Vydac C18 (218TP510) column using the same solvents with a linear gradient of 10-90% (v/v) B over 30 min.
