Protein chemical synthesis can overcome potential limitations of protein expression and produce proteins with predesigned changes and modifications with atomic precision. The development of increasingly efficient and general methods for peptide ligation comprises a central objective. One important challenge is to synthesize proteins by sequential ligation of three or more unprotected peptide segments. Earlier strategies focused on sequential ligations toward the N terminus from a Cterminal Cys peptide segment, but the counterpart N-to-C sequential assembly of the peptide segments was difficult, and this prevented fully convergent protein synthesis. To solve the problem Kent et al. recently invented kinetically controlled ligation (KCL; Scheme 1). The success of KCL relies on the large
