Abstract

The total chemical synthesis of proteins is a useful alternative to living systems for accessing small proteins. Significant progresses have been made these recent years in the design of novel chemoselective amide bond ligation chemistries that can be integrated in efficient peptide segment assembly strategies. These methods are used to tackle challenging protein targets that are not easily attainable using classical recombinant techniques. This digest focuses on the latest advances in the total chemical synthesis of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins and SUMO peptide protein conjugates.
