Site-selective photocatalytic functionalization of peptides and proteins at selenocysteine
The modification of peptides and proteins for application in drug discovery and chemical biology is currently a rapidly growing field of research. Here, the authors report a photocatalytic diselenide contraction method for the dimerization and site-specific functionalisation of peptides and protein.
