The ability of microbial transglutaminase to ligate two polypeptides through glutamine and lysine residues was exploited to generate cyclic peptides. Peptides with an N‐terminal short glutamine‐donor sequence (Ala‐Leu‐Gln), a variable polypeptide linker and a C‐terminal lysine residue could efficiently be cyclised by the enzyme.
