A selective N→S acyl transfer reaction facilitates semi‐synthesis of the plant cyclotide kalata B1 from a linear precursor peptide of bacterial origin, through simple appendage of N‐terminal cysteine and a thiol‐labile C‐terminal Gly‐Cys motif. This constitutes the first synthesis of a ribosomally derived circular miniprotein, without recourse to protein splicing elements.
