The present invention relates to the field of total chemical synthesis of ubiquitin and related peptides. More in particular, a method is provided of solid phase synthesis of ubiquitin, ubiquitin mutants and derivatives thereof. It was the object of the present invention to provide an approach for the total chemical synthesis of ubiquitin, which allows for the chemical synthesis of virtually any Ub mutant and giving high overall efficiency and purity. The present inventors have surprisingly found that this object can be realized with a method relying on incorporation of special amino acid building blocks. This approach was found to allow for exceptionally high yields of up to 14% and to provide an synthetic entry into virtually any ubiquitin derivative.
