The synthesis of a 23‐kDa protein that mimics the ligand‐binding extracellular part of a G‐protein‐coupled receptor shows the potential of a combined recombinant, enzymatic, and chemical synthesis (CRECS) strategy. The mimic of the corticotropin‐releasing factor receptor, synthesized from single domains by chemical ligation and sortase A‐mediated coupling, has a high affinity for natural ligands.
