I have just looked at your message in a bit more detail.
We can make peptides coupled to controlled pore glass, it simply avoids having
to try to put them back onto a solid phase again.
Typically we use 1000A CPG at a loading of about 20umole/g, great for affinity
columns.
The link is at the C-terminal of the peptide.
We have no hard information about spacers but could easily add 2 glycines
between the peptide and the linker.
