We report an efficient approach for the chemical synthesis of Rhesus θ-defensin-1 (RTD-1) using Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis in combination with an intramolecular version of native chemical ligation. The corresponding linear thioester precursor was cyclized and folded in a one-pot reaction using reduced glutathione. The reaction was extremely efficiently yielding natively folded RTD-1 with minimal or no purification at all. This approach is fully compatible with the high throughput p ...[more]
