title: Peptide ligation by a reversible and reusable C-terminal thiol handle.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Peptide ligation of noncysteinyl residues can be achieved conveniently by a reversible C-terminal thiol handle together with a Ag(+) ion-assisted S,N-acyl migration. The regenerated C-terminal handle permits tandem ligation of multiple segment.
