Abstract

Side-chain assisted ligation is an auxiliary-mediated ligation strategy in which a thiol bearing cyclohexane or cyclopentane is attached to the side-chain of Asp, Glu, Ser or Thr to function in a similar manner to Cys in a native chemical ligation. Following the ligation step, the auxiliary is removed, without product isolation, under alkaline conditions.
