low‐molecular‐weight ligands of this receptor is still in great demand. Here, a metadynamics‐driven design strategy allowed us to successfully convert a helical nonapeptide into a cyclic pentapeptide (6) showing remarkable potency and αvβ6 specificity. NMR and docking studies elucidated the reasons for the high affinity and selectivity of this compound, setting the ground for the rational design of new αvβ6‐specific

nucleobases. They can recognize DNA and RNA targets modulating their biological functions. To date, the lack of an effective strategy for the synthesis of nucleopeptides prevents their evaluation for biological and biomedical applications. Herein, we describe an unprecedented approach that enables the synthesis of cationic both homo and heterosequence nucleopeptides wholly on solid support with high yield
