Multivalent NHS-activated acrylates for orthogonal site-selective functionalisation of peptides at cysteine residues

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Jul 14;58(57):7928-7931. doi: 10.1039/d2cc02204d.

Abstract

The site-selective chemical appendage of multiple functionalities on a native peptide backbone is a highly demanding and complex tool of modern chemical biology. Here, novel NHS-activated acrylates were designed to hold various payloads in a single bioconjugation handle that is able to site-selectively and orthogonally target the N-terminal cysteine of peptides.
