Chemical protein synthesis allows the generation of milligram quantities of correctly folded and previously inaccessible tyrosine‐phosphorylated estrogen receptor α (ERα) and β (ERβ) ligand binding domains. By using this synthetic strategy, the crystal structure of a post‐translationally modified nuclear receptor (pY488 ERβ) could be obtained for the first time (see figure).
