Abstract
This work demonstrates trivalent tris-(3-N-methyl-N-pyridyl propyl)amine (1) catalyzing the site-selective mono-O-acylation of glycopyranosides. Different acid anhydrides were used for the acylation of monosaccharides, mediated by catalyst 1, at a loading of 1.5 mol%; the extent of site-selectivity and the yields of mono-O-acylation products were assessed. The reactions were performed between 2 and 10 h, depending on the nature of the acid anhydride, where the bulkier pivalic anhydride required a longer duration for acylation. The glycopyranosides are maintained as diols and triols, and from a set of experiments, the site-selectivity of acylations was observed to follow the intrinsic reactivities and stereochemistry of hydroxy functionalities. The trivalent catalyst 1 mediates the reactions with excellent site-selectivities for mono-O-acylation product formation in the studied glycopyranosides, in comparison to the monovalent N,N-dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) catalyst. This study illustrates the benefits of the multivalency of catalytic moieties in catalysis.

Abstract
With unlimited selectivity, full post-translational chemical control of biology would circumvent the dogma of genetic control. The resulting direct manipulation of organisms would enable atomic-level precision in "editing" of function. We argue that a key aspect that is still missing in our ability to do this (at least with a high degree of control) is the selectivity of a given chemical reaction in a living organism. In this Review, we systematize existing illustrative examples of chemical selectivity, as well as identify needed chemical selectivities set in a hierarchy of anatomical complexity: organismo- (selectivity for a given organism over another), tissuo- (selectivity for a given tissue type in a living organism), cellulo- (selectivity for a given cell type in an organism or tissue), and organelloselectivity (selectivity for a given organelle or discrete body within a cell). Finally, we analyze more traditional concepts such as regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective reactions where additionally appropriate. This survey of late-stage biomolecule methods emphasizes, where possible, functional consequences (i.e., biological function). In this way, we explore a concept of late-stage functionalization of living organisms (where "late" is taken to mean at a given state of an organism in time) in which programmed and selective chemical reactions take place in life. By building on precisely analyzed notions (e.g., mechanism and selectivity) we believe that the logic of chemical methodology might ultimately be applied to increasingly complex molecular constructs in biology. This could allow principles developed at the simple, small-molecule level to progress hierarchically even to manipulation of physiology.

Abstract
Proteins are multifunctional large organic compounds that constitute an essential component of a living system. Hence, control over their bioconjugation impacts science at the chemistry-biology-medicine interface. A chemical toolbox for their precision engineering can boost healthcare and open a gateway for directed or precision therapeutics. Such a chemical toolbox remained elusive for a long time due to the complexity presented by the large pool of functional groups. The precise single-site modification of a protein requires a method to address a combination of selectivity attributes. This review focuses on guiding principles that can segregate them to simplify the task for a chemical method. Such a disintegration systematically employs a multi-step chemical transformation to deconvolute the selectivity challenges. It constitutes a disintegrate (DIN) theory that offers additional control parameters for tuning precision in protein bioconjugation. This review outlines the selectivity hurdles faced by chemical methods. It elaborates on the developments in the perspective of DIN theory to demonstrate simultaneous regulation of reactivity, chemoselectivity, site-selectivity, modularity, residue specificity, and protein specificity. It discusses the progress of such methods to construct protein and antibody conjugates for biologics, including antibody-fluorophore and antibody-drug conjugates (AFCs and ADCs). It also briefs how this knowledge can assist in developing small molecule-based covalent inhibitors. In the process, it highlights an opportunity for hypothesis-driven routes to accelerate discoveries of selective methods and establish new targetome in the precision engineering of proteins and antibodies.

Abstract
The Click reaction that involves Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) serves as the most potent and highly dependable tool for the development of many complex architectures. It has paved the way for the synthesis of numerous drug molecules with enhanced synthetic flexibility, reliability, specificity and modularity. It is all about bringing two different molecular entities together to achieve the required molecular properties. The utilization of Click chemistry has been well demonstrated in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions that involve biocompatible precursors. In pharmaceutical research, Click chemistry is extensively utilized for drug delivery applications. The exhibited bio-compatibility and dormancy towards other biological components under cellular environments makes Click chemistry an identified boon in bio-medical research. In this review, various click-derived transition metal complexes are discussed in terms of their applications and uniqueness. The scope of this chemistry towards other streams of applied sciences is also discussed.

Abstract
Organocatalyst-mediated acyl transfer reactions hold promise for selective protein labeling in biological milieu. However, they often suffer from off-target reactions and high background signals because of the requirement of high concentrations of substrates. Here, we report a new catalytic protein acylation strategy promoted by the His-tag/NiNTA interaction. The recognition-assisted activation mechanism allows efficient protein labeling even with >10-fold lower substrate concentrations than conventional reactions, thereby enabling highly selective and efficient cell-surface receptor modification in live cells.

Abstract
Most amino acid molecules have good water solubility and are rich in functional groups, which makes them a promising derivatizing agent for cellulose. However, self-condensation of amino acids and low reaction efficiency always happen during esterification. Here, amino acid hydrochloride ([AA]Cl) is selected as raw material to synthesize cellulose amino acid ester (CAE). Based on TG-MS coupling technology, a significantly faster reaction rate of [AA]Cl compared to raw amino acid can be observed visually. CAE with the degree of substitution 0.412-0.516 is facilely synthesized under 130-170 °C for 10-50 min. Moreover, the effects of amounts of [AA]Cl agent, temperature, and time on the esterification are studied. The CAE can be well dissolved in 7 wt% NaOH aq., resulting in a 7.5 wt% dope. The rheological test of the dope demonstrated a shear-thinning behavior for Newtonian-like fluid, and a high gel temperature (41.7 °C). Further, the synthesized products show distinct antibacterial activity and the bacteriostatic reduction rate against E. coli can reach 99.5 %.

Abstract
Glycoproteins are related to many biological activities and diseases, and thereby their efficient capture and enrichment for diagnostics and proteomics have emerged to exhibit great significance. However, the lack of materials with high binding capacity and selectivity is still a big obstacle for further application. Herein, we reported a facile and eco-friendly approach to fabricate spherical polymer brushes with multiple boronic acid groups. Specifically, the whole process can be divided into three steps, the polystyrene (PS) core was obtained by traditional emulsion polymerization, followed by immobilization of a home-made photoinitiator. Subsequently, boronic acid-functionalized polymer chains (PBA) were chemically grafted via photo-emulsion polymerization, leading to spherical polymer brushes (PS-PBA) with boronate affinity. The particle size, morphology, and composition of as-prepared spherical polymer brushes were systematically characterized. The characteristics of glycoproteins binding to the spherical polymer brushes under different conditions, including pH values and ionic strength, were also investigated. PS-PBA brushes possess fast binding speed (30 min) and high binding capacity for glycoprotein ovalbumin (OVA) (377.0 mg g-1) under physiological pH conditions at 25 °C, because the low steric hindrance of flexible polymeric PBA chains facilitates the interaction between boronic acid groups and glycoproteins. Moreover, the binding capacity of PS-PBA brushes for glycoprotein OVA was ∼6.7 times higher than that for non-glycoprotein bovine serum albumin (BSA), indicating the excellent selective adsorption. This study provided a facile and efficient approach for the fabrication of boronic acid-functionalized materials that will be useful in the enrichment and separation of glycoproteins for the diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
Sialic acid (SA) is an important monosaccharide that is involved in incurable cancer immunotherapy. However, it is difficult to detect SA in situ using the existing strategy based on the SA-terminated glycopeptide extraction from the cell lysate. The countermeasures of the bottleneck caused by cell disruption and peptide extraction should be designed based on a "cell-surface attachment and controlled enzymolysis" protocol. Herein, a poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride-acrylic acid-concanavalin A) (PSM-PAA-ConA) was synthesized and developed as a pH-regulated enzyme nanoreactor after being loaded with sialidase and myoglobin. The nanoreactor showed controllable biocatalysis induced by a cascade enzyme reaction and applied for the in situ detection of SA on a living cell surface. The addition of an acidic solution resulted in a decrease in the size of the nanoreactor and enhancement of its permeability, triggering an "on" state of the SA catalysis. Subsequent pH increase led to increased hydrophilicity of the nanoreactor, increasing its size and resulting in the catalytic "off" state. ConA assisted the cell-surface attachment of the enzyme reactor. Furthermore, SA on the surface of living cancer cells was successfully monitored by the pH-regulated enzyme nanoreactor, demonstrating the feasibility of high specificity in situ analysis for SA. This pH-induced catalytic efficiency control by the enzyme nanoreactor provides a potential platform for functional stimuli-responsive catalytic systems as well as a strategy for in situ analysis of biomolecules on the cell surface.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin G (IgG)-binding peptides such as 15-IgBP are convenient tools for the site-specific modification of antibodies and the preparation of homogeneous antibody-drug conjugates. A peptide such as 15-IgBP can be selectively crosslinked to the fragment crystallizable region of human IgG in an affinity-dependent manner via the ϵ-amino group of Lys8. Previously, we found that the peptide 15-Lys8Leu has a high affinity (Kd =8.19 nM) due to the presence of the γ-dimethyl group in Leu8. The primary amino group required for the crosslinking to the antibodies has, however, been lost. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a novel unnatural amino acid, 4-(2-aminoethylcarbamoyl)leucine (Aecl), which possesses both the γ-dimethyl fragment and a primary amino group. A peptide containing Aecl8 (15-Lys8Aecl) was synthesized and showed a binding affinity ten times higher (Kd =24.3 nM) than that of 15-IgBP (Kd =267 nM). Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled 15-Lys8Aecl with an N-hydroxy succinimide ester at the side chain of Aecl8 (FITC-15-Lys8Aecl(OSu)) successfully labeled an antibody (trastuzumab, Herceptin® ) with the fluorophore. This peptide scaffold has both strong binding affinity and crosslinking capability, and could be a useful tool for the selective chemical modification of antibodies with molecules of interest such as drugs.

Abstract
Understanding how a cell membrane protein functions on living cells remains a challenge for cell biology. Specific placement of functional molecules on specific proteins in their native environment would allow comprehensive study of proteins' dynamic functions. Existing methods cannot facilely achieve multiple modifications on specific membrane proteins. In this report, we describe an aptamer-induced, protein-specific bio-orthogonal modification technology for precise nongenetic immobilization of multiple small functional molecules on target membrane glycoproteins by combining metabolic technology and aptamer targeting. In brief, DNA probes were designed by modifying aptamers, which bind to target proteins on the surfaces of living cells pretreated with N-azidoacetylmannosamine-tetraacylated (Ac4ManNAz). The cyclooctynes tagged of DNA probes will approach the azide groups to trigger the bio-orthogonal reactions. After UV irradiation and hybridization with cDNA (complementary DNA), the aptamers can be removed, and the process can be repeated to achieve multiple modifications for multicolor imaging and cell surface nanoengineering on specific proteins.

Abstract
Elucidation of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is often very challenging and yields complex and unclear results. Lectin-glycoprotein interactions are especially difficult to study due to the noncovalent nature of the interactions and inherently low binding affinities of proteins to glycan ligands on glycoproteins. Here, we report a "ligand-directed labeling probe (LLP)"-based approach to fabricate protein probes for elucidating protein-glycoprotein interactions. LLP was designed with dual photoactivatable groups for the introduction of an alkyne handle proximal to the carbohydrate-binding pocket of lectins, Ricinus communis agglutinin 120 (RCA120) and recombinant human Siglec-2-Fc. In proof-of-principle studies, alkynylated lectins were conjugated with a photoreactive diazirine cross-linker and an environment-sensitive fluorophore, respectively, by the bioorthogonal click reaction. The modified RCA120 or Siglec-2-Fc was used for detecting the interaction with the target glycoprotein in the solution or endogenously expressed glycoproteins on live HeLa cells. We anticipate that the fabrication of these protein probes will accelerate the discovery of novel PPIs.

Abstract
Cell biology is tightly regulated by post-translational modifications of proteins. Methods to modulate post-translational modifications in living cells without relying on enzymes or genetic manipulation are, however, largely underexplored. We previously reported that a chemical catalyst (DSH) conjugated with a nucleosome-binding ligand can activate an acyl-CoA and promote site-selective lysine acylation of histones in test tubes. In-cell acylation by this catalyst system is challenging, however, mainly due to the low cell permeability of acyl-CoA and the propensity of DSH to form inactive disulfide. Here, we report a new catalyst system effective for in-cell acylation, comprising a cell-permeable acyl donor and pro-drugged DSH. Using E. coli dihydrofolate reductase and trimethoprim as a model protein and ligand pair, the catalyst system enabled site-selective acylation of the target protein in living cells. The findings will lead to the development of useful chemical biology tools and new therapeutic strategies capable of synthetically modulating post-translational modifications.

Abstract
Cell-based therapy is a promising approach to restoring lost functions to compromised organs. However, the issue of inefficient cell engraftment remains to be resolved. Herein, we take a chemical approach to facilitate cell engraftment by using self-assembling molecules which modify two cellular traits: cell survival and invasiveness. In this system, the self-assembling molecule induces syndecan-4 clusters on the cellular surface, leading to enhanced cell viability. Further integration with Halo-tag technology provided this self-assembly structure with matrix metalloproteinase-2 to functionalize cells with cell-invasion activity. In vivo experiments showed that the pretreated cells were able to survive injection and then penetrate and engraft into the host tissue, demonstrating that the system enhances cell engraftment. Therefore, cell-surface modification via an alliance between self-assembling molecules and ligation technologies may prove to be a promising method for cell engraftment.

Abstract
Peptides are a rapidly growing class of therapeutics with many advantages over conventional small molecule drugs. Dextrorotary (D)-peptides, with increased enzymatic stability and prolonged plasma half-life in comparison with natural L-peptides, are considered to have great potential as recognition molecules and therapeutic agents. However, the in vivo efficacy of current therapeutic D-peptides is hindered by their inefficient cellular uptake in diseased tissues. Methods: To overcome physiological and cellular barriers to D-peptides, we designed a gold-based ultra-small nanocarrier coupled with polylysine (PLL) and a receptor-targeted peptide to deliver therapeutic D-peptides. Using a D-peptide p53 activator (DPA) as a proof of concept, we synthesized, functionalized and characterized gold- and DPA-based nanoparticles termed AuNP-DPA. Results: AuNP-DPA were effectively enriched in tumor sites and subsequently internalized by cancer cells, thereby suppressing tumor growth via reactivating p53 signaling. More importantly, through a series of in vivo experiments, AuNP-DPA showed excellent biosafety without the common side effects that hinder p53 therapies in clinic trials. Conclusion: The present study not only sheds light on the development of AuNP-DPA as a novel class of antitumor agents for drugging the p53 pathway in vivo, but also supplies a new strategy to use D-peptides as intracellular PPI inhibitors for cancer-targeted therapy.

Abstract
Lysine acylation of proteins is a crucial chemical reaction, both as a post-translational modification and as a method for bioconjugation. We previously developed a chemical catalyst, DSH, which activates a chemically stable thioester including acyl-CoA, allowing the site-selective lysine acylation of histones under physiological conditions. However, a more active catalyst is required for efficient lysine acylation in more complex biological milieu, such as in living cells, but there are no rational guidelines for developing efficient lysine acylation catalysts for use under physiological conditions as opposed to in organic solvents. We, herein, conducted a kinetic analysis of the ability of DSH and several derivatives to mediate lysine acetylation to better understand the structural elements essential for high acetylation activity under physiological conditions. Interestingly, the obtained trend in reactivity was different from that observed in organic solvents, suggesting that a different principle is necessary for designing chemical catalysts specifically for use under physiological conditions compared to catalysts for use in organic solvents. Based on the obtained information, we identified a new catalyst scaffold with high activity and structural flexibility for further modification to improve this catalyst system.

Abstract
Chemically constructed biosensors consisting of a protein scaffold and an artificial small molecule have recently been recognized as attractive analytical tools for the specific detection and real-time monitoring of various biological substances or events in cells. Conventionally, such semisynthetic biosensors have been prepared in test tubes and then introduced into cells using invasive methods. With the impressive advances seen in bioorthogonal protein conjugation methodologies, however, it is now becoming feasible to directly construct semisynthetic biosensors in living cells, providing unprecedented tools for life-science research. We discuss here recent efforts regarding the in situ construction of protein-based semisynthetic biosensors and highlight their uses in the visualization and quantification of biomolecules and events in multimolecular and crowded cellular systems.

Abstract
The challenge of site-selectivity must be overcome in many chemical research contexts, including selective functionalization in complex natural products and labeling of one biomolecule in a living system. Synthetic catalysts incorporating molecular recognition domains can mimic naturally-occurring enzymes to direct a chemical reaction to a particular instance of a functional group. We propose that DNA-conjugated small molecule catalysts (DCats), prepared by tethering a small molecule catalyst to a DNA aptamer, are a promising class of reagents for site-selective transformations. Specifically, a DNA-imidazole conjugate able to increase the rate of ester hydrolysis in a target ester by >100-fold compared with equimolar untethered imidazole was developed. Other esters are unaffected. Furthermore, DCat-catalyzed hydrolysis follows enzyme-like kinetics and a stimuli-responsive variant of the DCat enables programmable "turn on" of the desired reaction.

Abstract
Endogenous protein labeling is one of the most invaluable methods for studying the bona fide functions of proteins in live cells. However, multi-molecular crowding conditions, such as those that occur in live cells, hamper the highly selective chemical labeling of a protein of interest (POI). We herein describe how the efficient coupling of molecular recognition with a chemical reaction is crucial for selective protein labeling. Recognition-driven protein labeling is carried out by a synthetic labeling reagent containing a protein (recognition) ligand, a reporter tag, and a reactive moiety. The molecular recognition of a POI can be used to greatly enhance the reaction kinetics and protein selectivity, even under live cell conditions. In this review, we also briefly discuss how such selective chemical labeling of an endogenous protein can have a variety of applications at the interface of chemistry and biology.

Abstract
The Androgen Receptor (AR) remains the leading target of advanced prostate cancer therapies. Thiosalicylamide analogs have previously been shown to act in cells as acyltransfer catalysts that are capable of transferring cellular acetate, presumably from acetyl-CoA, to HIV NCp7. Here we explore if the cellular acetyl-transfer activity of thiosalicylamides can be redirected to other cellular targets guided by ligands for AR. We constructed conjugates of thiosalicylamides and the AR-binding small molecule tolfenamic acid, which binds the BF-3 site of AR, proximal to the coactivator "FXXLF" binding surface. The thiosalicylamide-tolfenamic acid conjugate, YZ03, but not the separate thiosalicylamide plus tolfenamic acid, significantly enhanced acetylation of endogenous AR in CWR22Rv1 cells. Further analysis confirms that Lys720, a residue critical to FXXLF coactivator peptide binding, is a site of acyl-YZ03 acetylation. Under acyl-transfer conditions, YZ03 significantly enhances the ability of BF-3 site binding ligands to inhibit AR-coactivator peptide association. These data suggest that biomimetic acyltransferases can enhance protein-protein interaction inhibitors through covalent modification of critical interfacial residues.

Abstract
Protein functions are tightly regulated by their subcellular localization in live cells, and quantitative evaluation of dynamically altered proteomes in each organelle should provide valuable information. Here, we describe a novel method for organelle-focused chemical proteomics using spatially limited reactions. In this work, mitochondria-localizable reactive molecules (MRMs) were designed that penetrate biomembranes and spontaneously concentrate in mitochondria, where protein labeling is facilitated by the condensation effect. The combination of this selective labeling and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) based proteomics technology facilitated identification of mitochondrial proteomes and the profile of the intrinsic reactivity of amino acids tethered to proteins expressed in live cultured cells, primary neurons and brain slices. Furthermore, quantitative profiling of mitochondrial proteins whose expression levels change significantly during an oxidant-induced apoptotic process was performed by combination of this MRMs-based method with a standard quantitative MS technique (SILAC: stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture). The use of a set of MRMs represents a powerful tool for chemical proteomics to elucidate mitochondria-associated biological events and diseases.

Abstract
Due to their biostability, D-peptides are emerging as an important molecular platform for biomedical applications. Being proteolytically resistant, D-peptides lack interactions with endogenous transporters and hardly enter cells. Here we show that taurine, a natural amino acid, drastically boosts the cellular uptake of small D-peptides in mammalian cells by >10-fold, from 118 μM (without conjugating taurine) to >1.6 mM (after conjugating taurine). The uptake of a large amount of the ester conjugate of taurine and D-peptide allows intracellular esterase to trigger intracellular self-assembly of the D-peptide derivative, further enhancing their cellular accumulation. The study on the mechanism of the uptake reveals that the conjugates enter cells via both dynamin-dependent endocytosis and macropinocytosis, but likely not relying on taurine transporters. Differing fundamentally from the positively charged cell-penetrating peptides, the biocompatibility, stability, and simplicity of the enzyme-cleavable taurine motif promise new ways to promote the uptake of bioactive molecules for countering the action of efflux pump and contributing to intracellular molecular self-assembly.

Abstract
The unusual sugars, α-aculosides, which appear in certain antibiotics and have an α,β-unsaturated ketone structure, were found to be novel and selective Michael acceptors for the thiol function of cysteine residues. A coumarin derivative possessing α-aculoside as a Michael acceptor effectively and irreversibly operated as a fluorescent probe in cells. Furthermore, α-aculosides exhibited cytotoxic activity against several cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in the development of chemical biology methods used to study the molecular behavior and interplay among live cells. These include the development of novel fluorescent molecules and photo-cross-linking agents that can be used to determine the cellular locations of biomacromolecules (including proteins and nucleic acids). Various biosensors utilizing the remarkable ligand-recognition abilities of biomacromolecules have also been developed. To allow such chemically functionalized molecules to interact with their partners, and to fully exploit the abilities and functions thereof, it is necessary to efficiently deliver such molecules into cells, specifically into the cytosol. Here, we illustrate intracellular delivery methods employing arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) (e.g., octa-arginine) in the presence of a counteranion, pyrenebutyrate. This approach is especially suitable for intracellular delivery of small proteins and peptides. Approaches employing arginine-rich CPPs tagged with a penetration-accelerating sequence can also be used toward this end.
