Abstract
A method for the production of C-terminal amidated recombinant peptides is provided. The method employs a recombinant protein construct having multiple copies of a target peptide linked by intraconnecting peptides. The intraconnecting peptides permit the multicopy construct to be selectively reacted to produce product peptides having a C-terminal .alpha.-carboxamide. A recombinant gene containing a DNA sequence coding for the recombinant protein construct and an expression cassette, an expression vector and a transformed cell including the recombinant gene are also provided.
