A novel chemoselective ligation methodology has been developed for the facile construction of peptide-based fluorescent probes. Furan-containing peptides were activated by singlet oxygen and covalently engaged by nitrogen nucleophiles to yield stable conjugates. Singlet oxygen was compatible with sensitive amino acid residues within the peptides and a range of fluorophores, bearing different functionalities, were successfully incorporated, illustrating the broad scope of the developed strategy.
一种新型的化学选择性连接方法已被开发出来，用于简便地构建基于肽的荧光探针。含呋喃的肽被单线态氧激活，并与亲核氮试剂发生共价结合，生成稳定的共轭物。单线态氧与肽内的敏感氨基酸残基兼容，并且成功地引入了一系列具有不同功能的荧光团，这说明了所开发策略的广泛适用性。
