description | Peptides can be used as effective molecular tool for covalent modification of proteins and play important roles in ligand directed covalent modification. Tyr-selective protein modifications exert a profound impact on protein functionality. Here, we developed a general strategy that involves nucleophilic addition of alkyne for tyrosine modification. The terminal alkyne of propargyl sulfonium is motivated by the sulfonium center to react with phenolic hydroxyl. This approach provides a straightforward method for tyrosine modification due to its high yield in aqueous solution at physiological temperature. In addition, cyclic peptides could be obtained via adjusting pH to 8.0 from peptides consisting of tyrosine and methionine modified by propargyl bromide, and the resulting cyclic peptides are proved to have better stability, excellent 2-mercaptopyridine resistance and improved cellular uptakes. Furthermore, molecules made from the propargylated sulfonium have the potential to be used as warheads against tyrosine containing biomolecules. Collectively, we develop a direct and uncomplicated technique for modifying tyrosine residues, the strategy concerned can be widely utilized to construct stable peptides and biomolecules imaging. |
