Diverse organo-peptide macrocycles via a fast and catalyst-free oxime/intein-mediated dual ligation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Feb 1;48(10):1461-3. doi: 10.1039/c1cc13533c. Epub 2011 Sep 7.

Abstract

Macrocyclic Organo-Peptide Hybrids (MOrPHs) can be prepared from genetically encoded polypeptides via a chemoselective and catalyst-free reaction between a trifunctional oxyamino/amino-thiol synthetic precursor and an intein-fusion protein incorporating a bioorthogonal keto group.
