Abstract
Amino acid bioconjugation technology has emerged as a pivotal tool for linking small-molecule fragments with proteins, antibodies, and even cells. The study in Nature by Chang and Toste introduces a redox-based strategy for tryptophan bioconjugation, employing N-sulfonyloxaziridines as oxidative cyclization reagents, demonstrating high efficiency comparable to traditional click reactions. Meanwhile, this tool provides feasible methods for investigating the mechanisms underlying functional tryptophan-related biochemical processes, paving the way for protein function exploration, activity-based proteomics for functional amino acid identification and characterization, and even the design of covalent inhibitors.

Abstract
Amino acids and aromatic nitrogen heterocycles are widely used in pharmaceuticals. Herein, we present an effective visible-light-driven thiobenzoic acid (TBA)-catalyzed decyanative C(sp3)-H heteroarylation of glycine derivatives. This process occurs under mild and straightforward conditions, affording a range of valuable yet challenging-to-obtain α-heteroaryl amino acid derivatives. Moreover, this organocatalytic C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond formation reaction is applicable to the late-stage modification of various short peptides.

Abstract
In contrast to conventional methods that rely on stoichiometric activation of phosphonylating reagents, we have developed a highly efficient catalytic method for the synthesis of phosphite diesters using a readily available phosphonylation reagent and alcohols with environmentally benign Zn(ii) catalysts. Two alcohols could be introduced consecutively on the P center with release of trifluoroethanol as the sole byproduct, without any additive, under mild conditions. The products could be oxidized smoothly to access phosphate triesters. A range of alcohols, including sterically demanding and highly functionalized alcohols such as carbohydrates and nucleosides, can be applied in this reaction.

Abstract
Through mechanistic work and rational design, we have developed the fastest organometallic abiotic Cys bioconjugation. As a result, the developed organometallic Au(III) bioconjugation reagents enable selective labeling of Cys moieties down to picomolar concentrations and allow for the rapid construction of complex heterostructures from peptides, proteins, and oligonucleotides. This work showcases how organometallic chemistry can be interfaced with biomolecules and lead to a range of reactivities that are largely unmatched by classical organic chemistry tools.

Abstract
The chemical bioconjugation of proteins has seen tremendous applications in the past decades, with the booming of antibody-drug conjugates and their use in oncology. While genetic engineering has permitted to produce bespoke proteins featuring key (un-)natural amino acid residues poised for site-selective modifications, the conjugation of native proteins is riddled with selectivity issues. Chemoselective strategies are plentiful and enable the precise modification of virtually any residue with a reactive side-chain; site-selective methods are less common and usually most effective on small and medium-sized proteins. In this context, we studied the application of the Ugi multicomponent reaction for the site-selective conjugation of amine and carboxylate groups on proteins, and antibodies in particular. Through an in-depth mechanistic methodology work supported by peptide mapping studies, we managed to develop a set of conditions allowing the highly selective modification of antibodies bearing N-terminal glutamate and aspartate residues. We demonstrated that this strategy did not alter their affinity toward their target antigen and produced an antibody-drug conjugate with subnanomolar potency. Excitingly, we showed that the high site selectivity of our strategy was maintained on other protein formats, especially on anticalins, for which directed mutagenesis helped to highlight the key importance of a single lysine residue.

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 first practical, fully stereoselective P(V)-radical hydrophosphorylation is presented herein by using simple, limonene-derived reagent systems. A set of reagents have been developed that upon radical initiation react smoothly with olefins and other radical acceptors to generate P-chiral products, which can be further diversified (with conventional 2e- chemistry) to a range of underexplored bioisosteric building blocks. The reactions have a wide scope with excellent chemoselectivity, and the unexpected stereochemical outcome has been supported computationally and experimentally. Initial ADME studies are suggestive of the promising properties of this rarely explored chemical space.

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
The nucleophilic reactivity of RNA 2'-OH groups in water has proven broadly useful in probing, labeling, and conjugating RNA. To date, reactions selective to ribose 2'-OH have been limited to bond formation with short-lived carbonyl electrophiles. Here we report that many activated small-molecule sulfonyl species can exhibit extended lifetimes in water and retain 2'-OH reactivity. The data establish favorable aqueous solubility for selected reagents and successful RNA-selective reactions at stoichiometric and superstoichiometric yields, particularly for aryl sulfonyltriazole species. We report that the latter are considerably more stable than most prior carbon electrophiles in aqueous environments and tolerate silica chromatography. Furthermore, an azide-substituted sulfonyltriazole reagent is developed to introduce labels into RNA via click chemistry. In addition to high-yield reactions, we find that RNA sulfonylation can also be performed under conditions that give trace yields necessary for structure mapping. Like acylation, the reaction occurs with selectivity for unpaired nucleotides over those in the duplex structure, and a sulfonate adduct causes reverse transcriptase stops, suggesting potential use in RNA structure analysis. Probing of rRNA is demonstrated in human cells, indicating possible cell permeability. The sulfonyl reagent class enables a new level of control, selectivity, versatility, and ease of preparation for RNA applications.

Abstract
The importance of modified peptides and proteins for applications in drug discovery, and for illuminating biological processes at the molecular level, is fueling a demand for efficient methods that facilitate the precise modification of these biomolecules. Herein, we describe the development of a photocatalytic method for the rapid and efficient dimerization and site-specific functionalization of peptide and protein diselenides. This methodology, dubbed the photocatalytic diselenide contraction, involves irradiation at 450 nm in the presence of an iridium photocatalyst and a phosphine and results in rapid and clean conversion of diselenides to reductively stable selenoethers. A mechanism for this photocatalytic transformation is proposed, which is supported by photoluminescence spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The utility of the photocatalytic diselenide contraction transformation is highlighted through the dimerization of selenopeptides, and by the generation of two families of protein conjugates via the site-selective modification of calmodulin containing the 21st amino acid selenocysteine, and the C-terminal modification of a ubiquitin diselenide.

Abstract
Protein modification plays an essential role in biological and pharmaceutical research. Due to the ordinary selectivity and inevitable damage to proteins of chemical synthetic methods, increased efforts were focused on biocatalysts which exhibited high regioselectivity and mild reaction conditions. However, separation of the biocatalysts and modified proteins remained a problem, especially when scaling up. Here, we developed a simple method for site-specific protein modification with a recyclable biocatalyst. The immobilizing tyrosinase (BmTYR) on magnetic beads can oxidize C-terminal tyrosine residues of the target protein to o-quinone, followed by the spontaneous addition of different nucleophiles (e.g., aniline derivatives), resulting in a C-terminal modified protein. Compared to the homogeneous biocatalytic system reported before, this heterogeneous system leads to an easier separation. Furthermore, the solid-phase biocatalyst can be regenerated during separation, providing reusability and lower costs.

Abstract
Protein bioconjugates are in high demand for applications in biomedicine, diagnostics, chemical biology and bionanotechnology. Proteins are large and sensitive molecules containing multiple different functional groups and in particular nucleophilic groups. In bioconjugation reactions it can therefore be challenging to obtain a homogeneous product in high yield. Numerous strategies for protein conjugation have been developed, of which a vast majority target lysine, cysteine and to a lesser extend tyrosine. Likewise, several methods that involve recombinantly engineered protein tags have been reported. In recent years a number of methods have emerged for chemical bioconjugation to other amino acids and in this review, we present the progress in this area.

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
We demonstrate that dibenzocyclooctendiones (DBCDOs) are efficient chemical reagents for the site-specific labeling of arginine-containing biomolecules. Unlike the commonly used probes, DBCDOs undergo an irreversible ring-contracted rearrangement with the guanidinium group on arginine residues under mild reaction conditions. The regioselective dual-labeled arginine residues were obtained in a one-pot reaction with our tested substrates. The efficiency of DBCDOs reactions and their ease of synthesis make DBCDOs an attractive choice for the site-selective bioconjugation of arginine.

Abstract
Post-transrational modifications (PTMs) of histones play a key role in epigenetic regulation. Unraveling the roles of each epigenetic mark can provide new insights into their biological mechanisms. On the other hand, it is generally difficult to prepare homogeneously-modified histones/nucleosomes to investigate their specific functions. Therefore, synthetic approaches to acquire precisely mimicked histones/nucleosomes are in great demand, and further development of this research field is anticipated. In this review, synthetic strategies to modify histones/nucleosomes, including cysteine modifications, transformations of dehydroalanine residues and lysine acylation using a catalyst system, are cited. In addition, the functional evaluation of synthetically modified histones/nucleosomes is described.

Abstract
Histidine (His, H) undergoes various post-translational modifications (PTMs) and plays multiple roles in protein interactions and enzyme catalyzed reactions. However, compared with other amino acids such as Lys or Cys, His modification is much less explored. Herein we describe a novel visible-light-driven thioacetal activation reaction which enables facile modification on histidine residues. An efficient addition to histidine imidazole N3 under biocompatible conditions was achieved with an electrophilic thionium intermediate. This method allows chemo-selective modification on peptides and proteins with good conversions and efficient histidine-proteome profiling with cell lysates. 78 histidine containing proteins were for the first time found with significant enrichment, most functioning in metal accumulation in brain related diseases. This facile His modification method greatly expands the chemo-selective toolbox for histidine-targeted protein conjugation and helps to reveal histidine's role in protein functions. Functionalization of histidine residues in proteins via visible-light-promoted thioacetal activation is reported. ∼2000 proteins with reactive and exposed histidine residues from the MCF7 cell line are characterized using ABPP by this method.![]()

Abstract
The bioconjugation of proteins-that is, the creation of a covalent link between a protein and any other molecule-has been studied for decades, partly because of the numerous applications of protein conjugates, but also due to the technical challenge it represents. Indeed, proteins possess inner physico-chemical properties-they are sensitive and polynucleophilic macromolecules-that make them complex substrates in conjugation reactions. This complexity arises from the mild conditions imposed by their sensitivity but also from selectivity issues, viz the precise control of the conjugation site on the protein. After decades of research, strategies and reagents have been developed to address two aspects of this selectivity: chemoselectivity-harnessing the reacting chemical functionality-and site-selectivity-controlling the reacting amino acid residue-most notably thanks to the participation of synthetic chemistry in this effort. This review offers an overview of these chemical bioconjugation strategies, insisting on those employing native proteins as substrates, and shows that the field is active and exciting, especially for synthetic chemists seeking new challenges.

Abstract
![]()
Over the past two
decades, activity-based probes have enabled a
range of discoveries, including the characterization of new enzymes
and drug targets. However, their suitability in some labeling experiments
can be limited by nonspecific reactivity, poor membrane permeability,
or high toxicity. One method for overcoming these issues is through
the development of “inducible” activity-based probes.
These probes are added to samples in an unreactive state and require in situ transformation to their active form before labeling
can occur. In this Review, we discuss a variety of approaches to inducible
activity-based probe design, different means of probe activation,
and the advancements that have resulted from these applications. Additionally,
we highlight recent developments which may provide opportunities for
future inducible activity-based probe innovations.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins are a biological mechanism for reversibly controlling protein function. Synthetic protein modifications (SPMs) at specific canonical amino acids can mimic PTMs. However, reversible SPMs at hydrophobic amino acid residues in proteins are especially limited. Here, we report a tyrosine (Tyr)-selective SPM utilizing persistent iminoxyl radicals, which are readily generated from sterically hindered oximes via single-electron oxidation. The reactivity of iminoxyl radicals with Tyr was dependent on the steric and electronic demands of oximes; isopropyl methyl piperidinium oxime 1f formed stable adducts, whereas the reaction of tert-butyl methyl piperidinium oxime 1o was reversible. The difference in reversibility between 1f and 1o, differentiated only by one methyl group, is due to the stability of iminoxyl radicals, which is partly dictated by the bond dissociation energy of oxime O-H groups. The Tyr-selective modifications with 1f and 1o proceeded under physiologically relevant, mild conditions. Specifically, the stable Tyr-modification with 1f introduced functional small molecules, including an azobenzene photoswitch, to proteins. Moreover, masking critical Tyr residues by SPM with 1o, and subsequent deconjugation triggered by the treatment with a thiol, enabled on-demand control of protein functions. We applied this reversible Tyr modification with 1o to alter an enzymatic activity and the binding affinity of a monoclonal antibody with an antigen upon modification/deconjugation. The on-demand ON/OFF switch of protein functions through Tyr-selective and reversible covalent-bond formation will provide unique opportunities in biological research and therapeutics.

Abstract
We describe maleic-acid derivatives as robust cysteine-selective reagents for protein labelling with comparable kinetics and superior stability relative to maleimides. Diamide and amido-ester derivatives proved to be efficient protein-labelling species with a common mechanism in which a spontaneous cyclization occurs upon addition to cysteine. Introduction of chlorine atoms in their structures triggers ring hydrolysis or further conjugation with adjacent residues, which results in conjugates that are completely resistant to retro-Michael reactions in the presence of biological thiols and human plasma. By controlling the microenvironment of the reactive site, we can control selectivity towards the hydrolytic pathway, forming homogeneous conjugates. The method is applicable to several scaffolds and enables conjugation of different payloads. The synthetic accessibility of these reagents and the mild conditions required for fast and complete conjugation together with the superior stability of the conjugates make this strategy an important alternative to maleimides in bioconjugation.

Abstract
Covalent drugs exert potent and durable activity by chemical modification of the endogenous target protein in vivo. To maximize the pharmacological efficacy while alleviating the risk of toxicity due to nonspecific off-target reactions, current covalent drug discovery focuses on the development of targeted covalent inhibitors (TCIs), wherein a reactive group (warhead) is strategically incorporated onto a reversible ligand of the target protein to facilitate specific covalent engagement. Various aspects of warheads, such as intrinsic reactivity, chemoselectivity, mode of reaction, and reversibility of the covalent engagement, would affect the target selectivity of TCIs. Although TCIs clinically approved to date largely rely on Michael acceptor-type electrophiles for cysteine targeting, a wide array of novel warheads have been devised and tested in TCI development in recent years. In this short review, we provide an overview of recent progress in chemistry for selective covalent targeting of proteins and their applications in TCI designs.

Abstract
Phosphate linkages govern life as we know it. Their unique properties provide the foundation for many natural systems from cell biology and biosynthesis to the backbone of nucleic acids. Phosphates are ideal natural moieties; existing as ionized species in a stable P(V)-oxidation state, they are endowed with high stability but exhibit enzymatically unlockable potential. Despite intense interest in phosphorus catalysis and condensation chemistry, organic chemistry has not fully embraced the potential of P(V) reagents. To be sure, within the world of chemical oligonucleotide synthesis, modern approaches utilize P(III) reagent systems to create phosphate linkages and their analogs. In this Outlook, we present recent studies from our laboratories suggesting that numerous exciting opportunities for P(V) chemistry exist at the nexus of organic synthesis and biochemistry. Applications to the synthesis of stereopure antisense oligonucleotides, cyclic dinucleotides, methylphosphonates, and phosphines are reviewed as well as chemoselective modification to peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids. Finally, an outlook into what may be possible in the future with P(V) chemistry is previewed, suggesting these examples represent just the tip of the iceberg.

Abstract
Chemically modified biomacromolecules-i.e., proteins, nucleic acids, glycans, and lipids-have become crucial tools in chemical biology. They are extensively used not only to elucidate cellular processes but also in industrial applications, particularly in the context of biopharmaceuticals. In order to enable maximum scope for optimization, it is pivotal to have a diverse array of biomacromolecule modification methods at one's disposal. Chemistry has driven many significant advances in this area, and especially recently, numerous novel visible-light-induced photochemical approaches have emerged. In these reactions, light serves as an external source of energy, enabling access to highly reactive intermediates under exceedingly mild conditions and with exquisite spatiotemporal control. While UV-induced transformations on biomacromolecules date back decades, visible light has the unmistakable advantage of being considerably more biocompatible, and a spectrum of visible-light-driven methods is now available, chiefly for proteins and nucleic acids. This review will discuss modifications of native functional groups (FGs), including functionalization, labeling, and cross-linking techniques as well as the utility of oxidative degradation mediated by photochemically generated reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, transformations at non-native, bioorthogonal FGs on biomacromolecules will be addressed, including photoclick chemistry and DNA-encoded library synthesis as well as methods that allow manipulation of the activity of a biomacromolecule.

Abstract
Selective modifications of peptides and proteins have emerged as a promising strategy to develop novel mechanistic probes and prepare compounds with translational potentials. Here, we report alanine carbastannatranes AlaSn as a universal synthon in various C-C and C-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. These reagents are compatible with peptide manipulation techniques and can undergo chemoselective conjugation in minutes when promoted by Pd(0). Despite their increased nucleophilicity and propensity to transfer the alkyl group, C(sp3)-C(sp2) coupling with AlaSn can be accomplished at room temperature under buffered conditions (pH 6.5-8.5). We also show that AlaSn can be easily transformed into several canonical L- and D-amino acids in arylation, acylation, and etherification reactions. Furthermore, AlaSn can partake in macrocyclizations exemplified by the synthesis of medium size cyclic peptides with various topologies. Taken together, metalated alanine AlaSn demonstrates unparalleled scope and represents a new type of umpolung reagents suitable for structure-activity relationship studies and peptide diversification.

Abstract
A highly stereoselective synthesis of a cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) STING agonist containing two chiral thiophosphoramidate linkages is described. These rare yet key functional groups were, for the first time, installed efficiently and with high diastereoselectivity using a specially designed P(V) reagent. By utilizing this strategy, the CDN was prepared in greater than 16-fold higher yield than the prior P(III) approach, with fewer hazardous reagents and chromatographic purifications.

Abstract
5-(Alkynyl)dibenzothiophenium triflates are introduced as new reagents to prepare different protein conjugates through site-selective cysteine alkynylation. The protocol developed allows a highly efficient label of free cysteine-containing proteins with relevant biological roles, such as ubiquitin, the C2A domain of Synaptotagmin-I, or HER2 targeting nanobodies. An electrophilic bis-alkynylating reagent was also designed. The second alkynylating handle thus introduced in the desired protein enables access to protein-thiol, protein-peptide, and protein-protein conjugates, and even diubiquitin dimers can be prepared through this approach. The low excess of reagent needed, mild reaction conditions used, short reaction times, and stability of the S-C(alkyne) bonds at physiological conditions make this approach an interesting addition to the toolbox of classical, site-selective cysteine-conjugation methods.

Abstract
Site-selective protein functionalization serves as an invaluable tool for investigating protein structures and functions in complicated cellular environments and accomplishing semi-synthetic protein conjugates such as traceable therapeutics with improved features. Dual functionalization of proteins allows the incorporation of two different types of functionalities at distinct location(s), which greatly expands the features of native proteins. The attachment and crosstalk of a fluorescence donor and an acceptor dye provides fundamental insights into the folding and structural changes of proteins upon ligand binding in their native cellular environments. Moreover, the combination of drug molecules with different modes of action, imaging agents or stabilizing polymers provides new avenues to design precision protein therapeutics in a reproducible and well-characterizable fashion. This review aims to give a timely overview of the recent advancements and a future perspective of this relatively new research area. First, the chemical toolbox for dual functionalization of proteins is discussed and compared. The strengths and limitations of each strategy are summarized in order to enable readers to select the most appropriate method for their envisaged applications. Thereafter, representative applications of these dual-modified protein bioconjugates benefiting from the synergistic/additive properties of the two synthetic moieties are highlighted.

Abstract
Diethynyl phosphinates were developed as bisfunctional electrophiles for the site-selective modification of peptides, proteins and antibodies. One of their electron-deficient triple bonds reacts selectively with a thiol and positions an electrophilic moiety for a subsequent intra- or intermolecular reaction with another thiol. The obtained conjugates were found to be stable in human plasma and in the presence of small thiols. We further demonstrate that this method is suitable for the generation of functional protein conjugates for intracellular delivery. Finally, this reagent class was used to generate functional homogeneously rebridged antibodies that remain specific for their target. Their modular synthesis, thiol selectivity and conjugate stability make diethynyl phosphinates ideal candidates for protein conjugation for biological and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Over the past decades, therapeutics based on biological macromolecules and cells have successfully entered the clinical arena and progressively occupied an increasing share of what once was almost exclusively small molecule territory. This perspective explores the opportunities for chemists at the interface between biologics and small molecule-based products. It provides concrete examples by zooming in on the area of post-translational protein modification. The conclusion is that, rather than diminishing the relevance of chemistry in the pharmaceutical enterprise, the advent of the biologics has provided an additional playing field for synthetic and medicinal chemists, where they can contribute to the efficacy and scope of applicability of biological entities in a collaborative effort to transformatively address unmet medical needs.

Abstract
Site-selective acylations of α-and β-hydroxyamides in complex polyols are described. The combination of a pyridine aldoxime ester and Zn(OTf)2 facilitates the acylation of two types of N-glycolyl disaccharides, namely, Gal-GlcNGc and Neu5Gc-Gal, both of which are partial structures of polysaccharides responsible for biological actions, with highly site-selective modifications achieved. Furthermore, biotinylation, one of the most important techniques in chemical biology, is used to site-selectively acylate the β-hydroxyl group in a glycopeptide.

Abstract
Cysteine represents an attractive target for peptide/protein modification due to the intrinsic high nucleophilicity of the thiol group and low natural abundance. Herein, a cleavable and tunable covalent modification approach for cysteine containing peptides/proteins with our newly designed aryl thioethers via a S N Ar approach was developed. Highly efficient and selective bioconjugation reactions can be carried out under mild and biocompatible conditions. A series of aryl groups bearing different bioconjugation handles, affinity or fluorescent tags are well tolerated. By adjusting the skeleton and steric hindrance of aryl thioethers slightly, the modified products showed a tunable profile for the regeneration of the native peptides.

Abstract
A growing number of organopnictogen redox catalytic methods have emerged-especially within the past 10 years-that leverage the plentiful reversible two-electron redox chemistry within Group 15. The goal of this Perspective is to provide readers the context to understand the dramatic developments in organopnictogen catalysis over the past decade with an eye toward future development. An exposition of the fundamental differences in the atomic structure and bonding of the pnictogens, and thus the molecular electronic structure of organopnictogen compounds, is presented to establish the backdrop against which organopnictogen redox reactivity-and ultimately catalysis-is framed. A deep appreciation of these underlying periodic principles informs an understanding of the differing modes of organopnictogen redox catalysis and evokes the key challenges to the field moving forward. We close by addressing forward-looking directions likely to animate this area in the years to come. What new catalytic manifolds can be developed through creative catalyst and reaction design that take advantage of the intrinsic redox reactivity of the pnictogens to drive new discoveries in catalysis?

Abstract
We report chemoselective and modular peptide bioconjugation using stoichiometric amounts of 4-halocoumarin and arylsulfonate agents that undergo metal-free C(sp2)-heteroatom bond formation at micromolar concentrations. The underlying ipso-substitution click chemistry is irreversible and generates stable and inherently fluorescent bioconjugates, and the broad selection of coumarin tags offers high labeling flexibility and versatility. Different coumarins and arylsulfonates can be selectively attached to amino and thiol groups in the small peptides glutathione and ornipressin, and both free as well as latent thiols captured in disulfide bridges can be targeted if desired. The broad utility, ease of use, storage, and preparation of 4-halocoumarins and arylsulfonates are very attractive features that extend currently available dual bioconjugation capabilities. We report chemoselective and modular peptide bioconjugation using stoichiometric amounts of 4-halocoumarin and arylsulfonate agents that undergo metal-free C(sp2)-heteroatom bond formation at micromolar concentrations.![]()

Abstract
Targeted covalent inhibitors are currently showing great promise for systems that are normally difficult to target with small molecule therapies. This renewed interest has spurred the refinement of existing computational methods as well as the designof new ones, expanding the toolbox for discovery and optimization of selectiveand effective covalent inhibitors. Commonly applied approaches are covalentdocking methods that predict the conformation of the covalent complex with known residues. More recently, a new predictive method, reactive docking, was developed, building on the growing corpus of data generated by large proteomics experiments. This method was successfully used in several 'inverse drug discovery' programs that use high-throughput techniques to isolate effective compounds based on screening of entire compound libraries based on desired phenotypes.
