## Abstract During over a decade of study on aspartic protease inhibitors and water‐soluble prodrugs, in 2003, we discovered that the presence of an __O__‐acyl instead of __N__‐acyl residue within the peptide backbone significantly changed the secondary structure of the native peptide. In addition,

## Abstract A novel strategy for a more efficient synthesis of difficult sequence‐containing peptides, the __S__‐acyl isopeptide method, was developed and successfully applied. A model pentapeptide Ac–Val–Val–Cys–Val–Val–NH~2~ was synthesized via its water‐soluble __S__‐acyl isopeptide using an __S
## Abstract ‘__O__‐Acyl isopeptide method’ is an efficient synthetic method for peptides. We designed ‘__O__‐acyl isodipeptide units’, Boc‐Ser/Thr(Fmoc‐Xaa)‐OH, as important building blocks to enable routine use of the __O__‐acyl isopeptide method. In the synthesis of an Aβ1–42 isopeptide using __O
## Abstract A head‐to‐tail cyclization of a protected linear hexapeptide with a __C__‐terminal __O__‐acyl isopeptide proceeded to give a cyclic __O__‐acyl isopeptide without epimerization. The cyclic __O__‐acyl isopeptide possessed different secondary structures compared with the native cyclic pept
