Popis: | Post-translational modifications (PTMs) enhance the repertoire of protein function and mediate or influence the activity of the majority of cellular processes. The preparation of site-specifically and homogeneously modified proteins to apply as tools to understand the biological role of PTMs is a challenging task. Herein, we describe a visible-light-mediated desulfurative C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond forming reaction that enables the site-selective installation of Ne-modified sidechains into peptides and proteins of interest. Rapid, operationally simple and tolerant to ambient atmosphere, we demonstrate the installation of a range of lysine (Lys) PTMs into model peptide systems and showcase the potential of this technology by site- selectively installing an NeAc sidechain into recombinantly expressed ubiquitin (Ub). |
