Serine in site : A native chemical ligation concept at the serine site is described (see picture). This method was achieved by the CNBr conversion reaction from methylcysteine, which could be obtained by selective S methylation. This new method allowed a consensus sequence that is generally incorporated in N‐linked oligosaccharides to be used as a ligation site in the course of glycopeptide synthesis.
