Site-selective protein editing by backbone extension acyl rearrangements (Nat Chem Biol, 2025)
Researchers at the NSF Center for Genetically Encoded Materials (C-GEM) developed a novel and versatile chemo-ribosomal strategy to generate isolable quantities of protein-derived biopolymers containing site-specific backbone modifications. This strategy relies on an intramolecular backbone-extension acyl rearrangement (BEAR) reaction that post-translationally and site-specifically rearranges the… Read More »Site-selective protein editing by backbone extension acyl rearrangements (Nat Chem Biol, 2025)
