• deprotection conditions, the switch ester segment is preserved at low pH. Reestablishment of the native α-amide peptide backbone can be achieved by an increase in the pH to neutral or even slightly basic conditions. The peptide segment was obtained by a semi-automated solid-phase supported peptide synthesis
