Lead role : The role of peptidyl α‐keto aldehydes as proteasome inhibitors is well established, yet their molecular binding mode requires additional investigation (see picture). A cyclization mechanism that proceeds through hemiketal and Schiff base formation with the nucleophilic N‐terminal threonine of β5 is shown to result in the reversible formation of a 5,6‐dihydro‐2 H ‐1,4‐oxazine ring. This agent serves as a new lead for the development of anticancer drugs.
