Kaplaneris N, Akdeniz M, Fillols M, Arrighi F, Raymenants F, Sanil G, Gryko DT, Noël T. Photocatalytic Functionalization of Dehydroalanine-Derived Peptides in Batch and Flow. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202403271. [PMID: 38497510 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202403271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
Unnatural amino acids, and their synthesis by the late-stage functionalization (LSF) of peptides, play a crucial role in areas such as drug design and discovery. Historically, the LSF of biomolecules has predominantly utilized traditional synthetic methodologies that exploit nucleophilic residues, such as cysteine, lysine or tyrosine. Herein, we present a photocatalytic hydroarylation process targeting the electrophilic residue dehydroalanine (Dha). This residue possesses an α,β-unsaturated moiety and can be combined with various arylthianthrenium salts, both in batch and flow reactors. Notably, the flow setup proved instrumental for efficient scale-up, paving the way for the synthesis of unnatural amino acids and peptides in substantial quantities. Our photocatalytic approach, being inherently mild, permits the diversification of peptides even when they contain sensitive functional groups. The readily available arylthianthrenium salts facilitate the seamless integration of Dha-containing peptides with a wide range of arenes, drug blueprints, and natural products, culminating in the creation of unconventional phenylalanine derivatives. The synergistic effect of the high functional group tolerance and the modular characteristic of the aryl electrophile enables efficient peptide conjugation and ligation in both batch and flow conditions.

Abstract
Efficient and precise chemical protein modification methods are highly sought after in biotechnology. However, chemically distinguishing a single site within a large protein is challenging. This study introduces a Copper Assisted Sequence-specific Conjugation Tag (CAST) method, enabling rapid (second order rate 8.1 M-1s-1) and site-specific chemical modification of the protein backbone with pinpoint accuracy. The versatility of this method is demonstrated through the preparation of antibody-drug conjugates, showcasing high plasma stability and potent efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo settings. Thus, CAST emerges as an efficient and quantitative approach for attaching payloads to large, native proteins.

Abstract
The chemical modification of biopolymers like peptides and proteins is a key technology to access vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Similarly, the tunable derivatization of individual amino acids is important as they are key building blocks of biomolecules, bioactive natural products, synthetic polymers, and innovative materials. The high diversity of functional groups present in amino acid-based molecules represents a significant challenge for their selective derivatization Recently, visible light-mediated transformations have emerged as a powerful strategy for achieving chemoselective biomolecule modification. This technique offers numerous advantages over other methods, including a higher selectivity, mild reaction conditions and high functional-group tolerance. This review provides an overview of the most recent methods covering the photoinduced modification for single amino acids and site-selective functionalization in peptides and proteins under mild and even biocompatible conditions. Future challenges and perspectives are discussed beyond the diverse types of photocatalytic transformations that are currently available.

Abstract
PCR amplification technology is the cornerstone of molecular biology. All-in-One PCR tube, as an emerging integrated device, is booming in biosensors application. All-in-One PCR tube biosensors are integrated PCR tubes designed for signal recognition, signal amplification or signal output. They enable "one-pot" detection within functionally modified and intelligently fabricated PCR tubes, effectively overcoming the limitations of conventional PCR applications, like complex procedural steps, risk of contamination and so on. Based on this, the review article summarizes the recent advance of All-in-One PCR tube biosensors for the first time as well as systematically categorizes five approaches of functional modification, three types of intelligent fabrication and relevant property characterization techniques. More emphasis is placed on the review of five ways of functional modification, including physical modification, chemical modification, UV photografting surface treatment, plasma surface modification, and layer-by-layer assembly coating. Moreover, All-in-One PCR tube biosensors covering different recognition elements range from small molecules to protein are detailed discussed on principle of sensing, providing a deeper understanding of the design and application of All-in-One-tube biosensor. Last, the future opportunities and challenges in this fascinating field are also deliberated.

Abstract
Metal-mediated ligand affinity chemistry (MLAC) enables site-specific protein modification and represents a powerful bioorthogonal strategy. Conventional bioorthogonal methods often involve two steps: (i) incorporation of the bioorthogonal handle (e.g., non-canonical amino acid, enzyme domain, peptide sequences) and (ii) the binding of functional molecules such as drugs, affinity tags, and fluorophores. This two-step protocol often involves genetic manipulation, which makes it impossible to chemically modify endogenous proteins in living systems. Thus, we propose the development of a transition metal-based chemical strategy that is ligand-directed to the endogenous protein of interest in a single step, which we refer to as metal-mediated ligand affinity chemistry (MLAC).

Abstract
Synthetic strategies to assemble peptide fragments are in high demand to access homogeneous proteins for various applications. Here, we combined native chemical ligation (NCL) and Pd-mediated Cys arylation to enable practical peptide ligation at aromatic junctions. The utility of one-pot NCL and S-arylation at the Phe and Tyr junctions was demonstrated and employed for the rapid chemical synthesis of the DNA-binding domains of the transcription factors Myc and Max. Organometallic palladium reagents coupled with NCL enabled a practical strategy to assemble peptides at aromatic junctions.

Abstract
The amidated peptides are an important class of biologically active compounds due to their unique biological properties and wide applications as potential peptide drugs and biomarkers. Despite the abundance of free amide motifs (Asn, Gln, and C-terminal amide) in native peptides, late-stage modification of the amide unit in naturally occurring peptides remains very rare because of the intrinsically weak nucleophilicity of amides and the interference of multiple competing nucleophilic residues, which generally lead to undesired side reactions. Herein, chemoselective arylation of amides in unprotected polypeptides has been developed under an air atmosphere to afford the N-aryl amide peptides bearing various functional motifs. Its success relies on the combination of gold catalysis and silver salt to differentiate the relative inert amide among a collection of reactive nucleophilic amino acid residues (e.g., -NH2, -OH, and -COOH), favoring the C-N bond coupling toward amides over other more nucleophilic groups. Experimental and DFT studies reveal a crucial role of the silver cation, which serves as a transient coordination mask of the more reactive reaction sites, overcoming the inherently low reactivity of amides. The excellent biocompatibility of this strategy has been applied to functionalize a wide range of peptide drugs and complex peptides. The application could be further extended to peptide labeling and peptide stapling.

Abstract
Herein, we disclose a Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation reaction for the derivatization of Lys-based peptides, in situ affording diverse peptide-isoquinolone conjugates. This approach features racemization-free conditions, high atom- and step-economy, excellent chemo- and site-selectivity, and broad scope including substrates bearing unprotected Trp and Tyr, free Ser and Gln, and Met residues. The peptide-isoquinolone conjugates also display good fluorescent properties with maximum emission wavelengths up to 460 nm. Importantly, preliminary antifungal activity studies indicate that peptide-isoquinolone conjugates show potential activities toward crop and forest pathogenic fungi, in which the peptide-isoquinolone conjugate bearing unprotected Tyr residue exhibits much better antifungal activities toward B. cinerea Pers. and C. chrysosperma than the positive control.

Abstract
A convenient pathway to a new series of α-CF3-substituted α-amino acid derivatives bearing pharmacophore isoquinolone core in their backbone has been developed. The method is based on [4+2]-annulation of N-(pivaloyloxy) aryl amides with orthogonally protected internal acetylene-containing α-amino carboxylates under Rh(III)-catalysis. The target annulation products can be easily transformed into valuable isoquinoline derivatives via a successive aromatization/cross-coupling operation.

Abstract
LPtIVF(Aryl) complexes bearing a bulky bidentate 2‐[bis(adamant‐1‐yl)phosphino]phenoxide ligand (L) demonstrate excellent reactivity and selectivity in the arylation of X−H (X=S, N) bonds of amino acid residues in unprotected peptides under mild, including aqueous, conditions. Stepwise addition of these complexes allowed a convenient one‐pot introduction of different aromatic groups in the X−H bonds of Cys and N terminus. PtIV reagents can also be used to further arylate N−H bonds in Lys and Trp providing access to peptides bearing multiple aromatic groups.

Abstract
In this work, a novel magnetic organic–inorganic hybrid catalyst was fabricated by encapsulating magnetite@silica (Fe3O4@SiO2) nanoparticles with Isinglass protein collagen (IGPC) using epichlorohydrin (ECH) as a crosslinking agent. Characterization studies of the prepared particles were accomplished by various analytical techniques specifically, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer−Emmett−Teller (BET) analysis. The XRD results showed a crystalline and amorphous phase which contribute to magnetite and isinglass respectively. Moreover, the formation of the core/shell structure had been confirmed by TEM images. The synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2/ECH/IG was applied as a bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst in the synthesis of spirooxindole derivatives through the multicomponent reaction of isatin, malononitrile, and C-H acids which demonstrated its excellent catalytic properties. The advantages of this green approach were low catalyst loading, short reaction time, stability, and recyclability for at least four runs.

Abstract
Fast and selective recognition of molecules at the nanometer scale without labeling is a much desired but still challenging goal to achieve. Here, we show the use of high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) for real-time and real-space recognition of unlabeled membrane receptors using tips conjugated with small synthetic macrocyclic peptides. The single-molecule recognition method is validated by experiments on the human hepatocyte growth factor receptor (hMET), which selectively binds to the macrocyclic peptide aMD4. By testing and comparing aMD4 synthesized with linkers of different lengths and rigidities, we maximize the interaction between the functionalized tip and hMET added to both a mica surface and supported lipid bilayers. Phase contrast imaging by HS-AFM enables us to discriminate nonlabeled hMET against the murine MET homologue, which does not bind to aMD4. Moreover, using ligands and linkers of small size, we achieve minimal deterioration of the spatial resolution in simultaneous topographic imaging. The versatility of macrocyclic peptides in detecting unlimited types of membrane receptors with high selectivity and the fast imaging by HS-AFM broaden the range of future applications of this method for molecular recognition without labeling.

Abstract
Transition-metal-based approaches to selectively modify proteins hold promise in addressing challenges in chemical biology. Unique bioorthogonal chemistry can be achieved with preformed metal-based compounds; however, their utility in native protein sites within cells remain underdeveloped. Here, we tune the ancillary ligands of cyclometalated gold(III) as a reactive group, and the gold scaffold allows for rapid modification of a desired cysteine residue proximal to the ligand binding site of a target protein. Moreover, evidence for a ligand association mechanism toward C-S bond formation by X-crystallography is established. The observed reactivity of cyclometalated gold(III) enables the rational design of a cysteine-targeted covalent inhibitor of mutant KRAS. This work illustrates the potential of structure-activity relationship studies to tune kinetics of cysteine arylation and rational design of metal-mediated ligand affinity chemistry (MLAC) of native proteins.

Abstract
While a diverse set of design strategies have produced various chemical tools for biomolecule labeling in aqueous media, the development of nonaqueous, biomolecule-compatible media for bioconjugation has significantly lagged behind. In this report, we demonstrate that an aprotic ionic liquid serves as a novel reaction solvent for protein bioconjugation without noticeable loss of the biomolecule functions. The ionic liquid bioconjugation approach led to discovery of a novel triphenylphosphine-mediated amine-azide coupling reaction that forges a stable tetrazene linkage on unprotected peptides and proteins. This strategy of using untraditional media would provide untapped opportunities for expanding the scope of chemical approaches for bioconjugation.

Abstract
Here we report a nonenzymatic glycosylation reaction that builds axial S-glycosidic bonds under biorelevant conditions. This strategy is enabled by the design and use of allyl glycosyl sulfones as precursors to glycosyl radicals and exploits the exceptional functional group tolerance of radical processes. Our method introduces a variety of unprotected glycosyl units to the cysteine residues of peptides in a highly selective fashion. Through developing the second-generation protocol, we applied our method in the direct glycosylation of complex polypeptides and proteins. Computational studies were performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Chromones represent a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry and are an omnipresent structural motif in natural products. Chemically encoded non-natural peptidomimetics feature improved stability towards enzymatic degradation, cell permeability and binding affinity, translating into a considerable impact on pharmaceutical industry. Herein, a strategy for the sustainable assembly of chromones via electro-formyl C–H activation is presented. The rational design of the rhodaelectro-catalysis is guided by detailed mechanistic insights and provides versatile access to tyrosine-based fluorogenic peptidomimetics. The chromone scaffold is present in drugs and bioactive natural products, but conventional approaches to access chromones require stoichiometric amounts of oxidants. Here, the authors report rhodaelectro-catalyzed assembly of chromones by electrochemical formyl C–H activations, providing the basis for late-stage peptide diversification.

Abstract
Postassembly modification of peptides via C(sp3)-H functionalization on aliphatic side chains provides a straightforward approach to access functionalized peptides as therapeutics. However, C(sp3)-H functionalization of C-terminal residues remains underdeveloped due to the inhibition effect of secondary amides in the backbone. Herein, we report a ligand-enabled, bidentate auxiliary-assisted β-C(sp3)-H arylation method, which is well tolerant of secondary amides. A wide range of peptides (tri- to dodecapeptides) underwent position-specific modification of alanine at the C-terminus.

Abstract
Synthetic bioconjugation at cysteine (Cys) residues in peptides and proteins has emerged as a powerful tool in chemistry. Soft nucleophilicity of the sulfur in Cys renders an exquisite chemoselectivity with which various functional groups can be placed onto this residue under benign conditions. While a variety of reactions have been successful at producing Cys-based bioconjugates, the majority of these feature sulfur-carbon bonds. We report Cys-borylation, wherein a benchtop stable Pt(II)-based organometallic reagent can be used to transfer a boron-rich cluster onto a sulfur moiety in unprotected peptides forging a boron-sulfur bond. Cys-borylation proceeds at room temperature and tolerates a variety of functional groups present in complex polypeptides. Further, the bioconjugation strategy can be applied to a model protein modification of Cys-containing DARPin (designed ankyrin repeat protein). The resultant bioconjugates show no additional toxicity compared to their Cys alkyl-based congeners. Finally, we demonstrate how the developed Cys-borylation can enhance the proteolytic stability of the resultant peptide bioconjugates while maintaining the binding affinity to a protein target.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal late-stage diversification of amino acids and peptides bears enormous potential for drug discovery and molecular imaging. Despite major accomplishments, these strategies largely rely on traditional, lengthy prefunctionalization methods, heavily involving precious transition-metal catalysis. Herein, we report on a resource-economical manganese(I)-catalyzed C-H fluorescent labeling of structurally complex peptides ensured by direct alkynylation and alkenylation manifolds. This modular strategy sets the stage for unraveling structure-activity relationships between structurally discrete fluorophores towards the rational design of BODIPY fluorogenic probes for real-time analysis of immune cell function.

Abstract
Organometallic reagents enable practical strategies for bioconjugation. Innovations in the design of water-soluble ligands and the enhancement of reaction rates have allowed for chemoselective cross-coupling reactions of peptides and proteins to be carried out in water. There are currently no organometallic-based methods for oligonucleotide bioconjugation to other biomolecules. Here we report bifunctional palladium(II)-oxidative addition complexes (OACs) as reagents for high-yielding oligonucleotide bioconjugation reactions. These bifunctional OACs react chemoselectively with amine-modified oligonucleotides to generate the first isolable, bench stable oligonucleotide-palladium(II) OACs. These complexes undergo site-selective C-S arylation with a broad range of native thiol-containing biomolecules at low micromolar concentrations in under one hour. This approach provided oligonucleotide-peptide, oligonucleotide-protein, oligonucleotide-small molecule, and oligonucleotide-oligonucleotide conjugates in >80 % yield and afforded conjugation of multiple copies of oligonucleotides onto a monoclonal antibody.

Abstract
Organometallic complexes have recently gained attention as competent bioconjugation reagents capable of introducing a diverse array of substrates to biomolecule substrates. Here, we detail the synthesis and characterization of an aminophosphine-supported Au(III) platform that provides rapid and convenient access to a wide array of peptide-based assemblies via cysteine S-arylation. This strategy results in the formation of robust C-S covalent linkages and is an attractive method for the modification of complex biomolecules due to the high functional group tolerance, chemoselectivity, and rapid reaction kinetics associated with these arylation reactions. This work expands upon existing metal-mediated cysteine arylation by introducing a class of air-stable organometallic complexes that serve as robust bioconjugation reagents enabling the synthesis of conjugates of higher structural complexity including macrocyclic stapled and bicyclic peptides as well as a peptide-functionalized multivalent hybrid nanocluster. This organometallic-based approach provides a convenient, one-step method of peptide functionalization and macrocyclization, and has the potential to contribute to efforts directed toward developing efficient synthetic strategies of building new and diverse hybrid peptide-based assemblies.

Abstract
Site-selective modification of oligonucleotides serves as an indispensable tool in many fields of research including research of fundamental biological processes, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. Here we report chemo- and regioselective modification of oligonucleotides based on rhodium(I)-carbene catalysis in a programmable fashion. Extensive screening identifies a rhodium(I)-catalyst that displays robust chemoselectivity toward base-unpaired guanosines in single and double-strand oligonucleotides with structurally complex secondary structures. Moreover, high regioselectivity among multiple guanosines in a substrate is achieved by introducing guanosine-bulge loops in a duplex. This approach allows the introduction of multiple unique functional handles in an iterative fashion, the utility of which is exemplified in DNA-protein cross-linking in cell lysates.

Abstract
The conventional S-alkylation of cysteine relies upon using activated electrophiles. Here we demonstrate high-yielding and selective S-alkylation and S-lipidation of cysteines in unprotected synthetic peptides and proteins by using weak electrophiles and a Zn2+ promoter. Linear or branched iodoalkanes can S-alkylate cysteine in an unprotected 38-residue Myc peptide fragment and in a 91-residue miniprotein Omomyc, thus highlighting selective late-stage synthetic modifications. Metal-assisted cysteine alkylation is also effective for incorporating dehydroalanine into unprotected peptides and for peptide cyclisation via aliphatic thioether crosslinks, including customising macrocycles to stabilise helical peptides for enhanced uptake and delivery to proteins inside cells. Chemoselective and efficient late-stage Zn2+ -promoted cysteine alkylation in unprotected peptides and proteins promises many useful applications.

Abstract
Direct targeting of intrinsically disordered proteins, including MYC, by small molecules for biomedical applications would resolve a longstanding issue in chemical biology and medicine. Thus, we developed gold-based small-molecule MYC reagents that engage MYC inside cells and modulate MYC transcriptional activity. Lead compounds comprise an affinity ligand and a gold(I) or gold(III) warhead capable of protein chemical modification. Cell-based MYC target engagement studies via CETSA and co-immunoprecipitation reveal specific interaction of compounds with MYC in cells. The lead gold(I) reagent, 1, demonstrates superior cell-killing potential (up to 35-fold) in a MYC-dependent manner when compared to 10058-F4 in cells including the TNBC, MDA-MB-231. Subsequently, 1 suppresses MYC transcription factor activity via functional colorimetric assays, and gene-profiling using whole-cell transcriptomics reveals significant modulation of MYC target genes by 1. These findings point to metal-mediated ligand affinity chemistry (MLAC) based on gold as a promising strategy to develop chemical probes and anticancer therapeutics targeting MYC.

Abstract
Peptide macrocyclization has traditionally relied on lactam, lactone and disulfide bond-forming reactions that aim at introducing conformational constraints into small peptide sequences. With the advent of ruthenium-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis and copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition, peptide chemists embraced transition metal catalysis as a powerful macrocyclization tool with relevant applications in chemical biological and peptide drug discovery. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the reactivity and methodological diversification of metal-catalyzed peptide macrocyclization as a special class of late-stage peptide derivatization method. We report the evolution from classic palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling approaches to more modern oxidative versions based on C-H activation, heteroatom alkylation/arylation and annulation processes, in which aspects such as chemoselectivity and diversity generation at the ring-closing moiety became dominant over the last years. The transit from early cycloadditions and alkyne couplings as ring-closing steps to very recent 3d metal-catalyzed macrocyclization methods is highlighted. Similarly, the new trends in decarboxylative radical macrocyclizations and the interplay between photoredox and transition metal catalysis are included. This review charts future perspectives in the field hoping to encourage further progress and applications, while bringing attention to the countless possibilities available by diversifying not only the metal, but also the reactivity modes and tactics to bring peptide functional groups together and produce structurally diverse macrocycles.

Abstract
The development of useful synthetic tools to label amino acids within a peptide framework for the ultimate modification of proteins in a late-stage fashion is a challenging task of utmost importance within chemical biology. Herein, we report the first Pd-catalyzed C-H acylation of a collection of Tyr-containing peptides with aldehydes. This water-compatible tagging technique is distinguished by its site-specificity, scalability and full tolerance of sensitive functional groups. Remarkably, it provides straightforward access to a high number of oligopeptides with altered side-chain topology including mimetics of endomorphin-2 and neuromedin N, thus illustrating its promising perspectives toward the diversification of structurally complex peptides and chemical ligation.

Abstract
Polypeptides present remarkable selectivity challenges for chemical methods. Amino groups are ubiquitous in polypeptide structure, yet few paradigms exist for reactivity and selectivity in arylation of amine groups. This communication describes the utilization of boronic acid reagents bearing certain o-electron withdrawing groups for copper-mediated amine arylation of the N-terminus under mild conditions and primarily aqueous solvent. The method adds to the toolkit of boronic acid reagents for polypeptide modification under mild conditions in water that shows complete selectivity for the N-terminus in the presence of lysine side chains.

Abstract
The site-selective modification of biomolecules has grown spectacularly in recent years. The presence of a large number of functional groups in a biomolecule makes its chemo- and regioselective modification a challenging goal. In this context, transition-metal-mediated reactions are emerging as a powerful tool owing to their unique reactivity and good functional group compatibility, allowing highly efficient and selective bioconjugation reactions that operate under mild conditions. This Minireview focuses on the current state of organometallic chemistry for bioconjugation, highlighting the potential of transition metals for the development of chemoselective and site-specific methods for functionalization of peptides, proteins and nucleic acids. The importance of the selection of ligands attached to the transition metal for conferring the desired chemoselectivity will be highlighted.

Abstract
Abstract
Site-specific protein conjugation is a critical step in the generation of unique protein analogs for a range of basic research and therapeutic developments. Protein transformations must target a precise residue in the presence of a plethora of functional groups to obtain a well-characterized homogeneous product. Competing reactive residues on natural proteins render rapid and selective conjugation a challenging task. Organometallic reagents have recently emerged as a powerful strategy to achieve site-specific labeling of a diverse set of biopolymers, due to advances in water-soluble ligand design, high reaction rate, and selectivity. The thiophilic nature of various transition metals, especially soft metals, makes cysteine an ideal target for these reagents. The distinctive reactivity and selectivity of organometallic-based reactions, along with the unique reactivity and abundancy of cysteine within the human proteome, provide a powerful platform to modify native proteins in aqueous media. These reactions often provide the modified proteins with a stable linkage made from irreversible cross-coupling steps. Additionally, transition metal reagents have recently been applied for the decaging of cysteine residues in the context of chemical protein synthesis. Orthogonal cysteine protecting groups and functional tags are often necessary for the synthesis of challenging proteins, and organometallic reagents are powerful tools for selective, rapid, and water-compatible removal of those moieties. This review examines transition metal-based reactions of cysteine residues for the synthesis and modification of natural peptides and proteins.

Abstract
Herein we report a Cu-catalyzed, site-selective functionalization of peptides that employs an aspartic acid (Asp) as a native directing motif, which directs the site of O-arylation at a proximal tyrosine (Tyr) residue. Through a series of competition studies conducted in high-throughput reaction arrays, effective conditions were identified that gave high selectivity for the proximal Tyr in Asp-directed Tyr modification. Good levels of site-selectivity were achieved in the O-arylation at a proximal Tyr residue in a number of cases, including a peptide-small molecule hybrid.

Abstract
Chemists have been interested in the N-alkylation of a peptide bond because such a modification alters the conformation of the amide bond, interferes with hydrogen bond formation, and changes other properties of the peptide (e.g., solubility). This modification also opens the door for attaching functional groups for various applications. Nonetheless, the irreversibility of some of these modifications and the harsh conditions required for their removal currently limits the wide utility of this approach. Herein, we report applying a propargyl group for peptide bond modification at diverse junctions, which can be removed under mild and aqueous conditions via treatment with gold(I). Considering the straightforward conditions for both the installation and removal of this group, the propargyl group provides access to the benefits of backbone N-alkylation, while preserving the ability for on-demand depropargylation and full recovery of the native amide bond. This reversible modification was found to improve solid-phase peptide synthesis as demonstrated in the chemical synthesis of NEDD8 protein, without the use of special dipeptide analogues. Also, the reported approach was found to be useful in decaging a broad range of propargyl-based protecting groups used in chemical protein synthesis. Remarkably, reversing the order of the two residues in the propargylation site resulted in rapid amide bond cleavage, which extends the applicability of this approach beyond a removable backbone modification to a cleavable linker. The easy attach/detach of this functionality was also examined in loading and releasing of biotinylated peptides from streptavidin beads.

Abstract
The chemistries selectively modifying recombinant proteins are valuable for the discovery and development of biologic therapeutics. We report here a Lys modification strategy that engages a Cys residue to covalently tether the reagents to the target that facilitates a proximity-driven intramolecular O-to-N acyl-transfer process yielding desired Lys-acylated products. We utilized GLP-1 as a case study, followed by desulfurization of the Cys mutation to native Ala regenerating the native sequence in a traceless fashion.
