The power of chemical synthesis of large cysteine-free polypeptides has been significantly enhanced through the use of nonproteogenic constructs which bear strategically placed thiol groups, enabling native chemical ligation. Central to these much expanded capabilities is the specific, radical-induced, metal-free dethiolation, which can be accomplished in aqueous medium.
通过使用带有 strategically placed thiol groups 的非天然构建体,显著增强了大半胱氨酸自由多肽的化学合成能力,从而实现了天然化学连接。这些扩展能力的核心是特定的、自由基诱导的、无金属的脱硫反应,可以在水介质中完成。
