Chloromethyl-triazole: a new motif for site-selective pseudo-acylation of proteins

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Oct 6;52(82):12230-12232. doi: 10.1039/c6cc06801d.

Abstract

Rapid, site-selective modification of cysteine residues with chloromethyl-triazole derivatives generates pseudo-acyl sLys motifs, mimicking important post-translational modifications. Near-native biotinylation of peptide and protein substrates is shown to be site-selective and modified histone H4 retains functional activity.
