‘O-Acyl isopeptide method’: racemization-free segment condensation in solid phase peptide synthesis

We disclosed a novel ‘racemization-free segment condensation’ based on the ‘O-acyl isopeptide method’ in which an N-segment including C-terminal O-acyl isopeptide structure with urethane-protected Ser/Thr residue was employed for the segment condensation, suggesting that the use of this method contributes to the effective convergent synthesis of long peptides/proteins.
