Abstract:
We developed a one-pot peptide ligation method using two orthogonal thioester precursors and a protecting group for the ligation reaction between Asp and Cys. Combination of the two precursors facilitated the one-pot operation and yielded the entire polypeptide. The usefulness of this method was successfully demonstrated by the total synthesis of histone H4.
