Simple synthesis of a potent probe : An efficient solid‐phase synthesis of Glu 7 ‐phalloidin (the resin‐bound cyclic peptide shown) features the one‐pot I 2 ‐mediated deprotection of S ‐tritylcysteine and formation of the Cys–Trp thioether bridge. A fluorescent conjugate of the resulting phalloidin analogue shows specific staining of F‐actin (filamentous actin) in fixed mammalian epithelial cells (see fluorescence micrograph). Fmoc=9‐fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl.
