Esterification Delivers a Functional Enzyme into a Human Cell

A major hurdle in chemical biology is the delivery of native proteins into the cytosol of mammalian cells. Herein, we report that esterification of the carboxyl groups of an enzyme with a diazo compound enables not only its passage into the cytosol but also the retention of its catalytic activity th...
