Rewiring the Protein Backbone

Rewiring the Protein Backbone

Schepartz Lab

Backbone editing offers a powerful way to expand protein function: by introducing β, γ, or δ linkages, researchers can strengthen folds against proteolysis, reshape ligand …

Oxidative Peptide Coupling

Oxidative Peptide Coupling

Proulx Lab

This study demonstrates that a key determinant of this reactivity is the choice of solvent. By shifting from aqueous buffer to a mixed organic solvent …

Versatile Precursors

Versatile Precursors

Mitchell Lab

Cyclopropane-containing amino acids, prized for their conformational rigidity and stability, are of increasing interest in therapeutic peptide development and antimicrobial drug discovery. A recent study …

Selective Coupling

Selective Coupling

Suga Lab


α,β-Dehydroalanine, ΔAla, is a highly reactive nonproteinogenic amino acid that serves as a versatile handle for modifying peptides, natural products, NPs, and proteins. While many …
