Single‐molecule observation of intermediates in bioorthogonal 2‐cyanobenzothiazole chemistry

We report a single‐molecule mechanistic investigation into 2‐cyanobenzothiazole (CBT) chemistry within a protein nanoreactor. When simple thiols reacted reversibly with CBT, the thioimidate monoadduct was approximately 80‐fold longer‐lived than the tetrahedral bisadduct, with important implications...
