Abstract
Native chemical ligation (NCL) enables the chemical synthesis of peptidesviareactions between N-terminal thiolates and C-terminal thioesters under mild, aqueous conditions at pH 7-8. Here we demonstrate quantitatively how thiol speciation at N-terminal cysteines and analogues varies significantly depending upon structure at typical pH values used in NCL.
