Abstract
After over a decade of studies on aspartic protease inhibitors and water‐soluble prodrugs, we have been developing a novel method, since 2003, called ‘O‐acyl isopeptide method’, for the synthesis of peptides containing difficult sequences. With our recent discoveries of ‘O‐acyl isodipeptide unit’ and the ‘racemization‐free segment condensation method’, this method has further evolved as a general synthetic method for peptides. Moreover, ‘Click Peptide’, which could be a powerful tool for identifying the pathological functions of amyloid β peptides in Alzheimer's disease, represents a valuable use of the isopeptide method in Chemical Biology‐oriented research.
