Chemoselective Late-Stage Functionalization of Peptides via Photocatalytic C2-Alkylation of Tryptophan (2023)
Journal Article

Across eukaryotic proteomes, tryptophan is the least abundant of the 20 canonical amino acids, which makes it an ideal chemical handle for the late-stage functionalization of peptide and protein scaffolds with minimal production of undesired isoforms...

Application of a Synthetic Ferredoxin‐Inspired [4Fe4S]‐Peptide Maquette as the Redox Partner for an [FeFe]‐Hydrogenase (2023)
Journal Article

‘Bacterial-type’ ferredoxins host a cubane [4Fe4S]2+/+ cluster that enables these proteins to mediate electron transfer and facilitate a broad range of biological processes. Peptide maquettes based on the conserved cluster-forming motif have previous...

Diphosphoryl‐functionalized Polyoxometalates: Structurally and Electronically Tunable Hybrid Molecular Materials (2023)
Journal Article

Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a new class of hybrid Wells–Dawson polyoxometalate (POM) containing a diphosphoryl group (P2O6X) of the general formula [P2W17O57(P2O6X)]6− (X=O, NH, or CR1R2). Modifying the bridging unit X was... Read More about Diphosphoryl‐functionalized Polyoxometalates: Structurally and Electronically Tunable Hybrid Molecular Materials.

Cysteine-Selective Modification of Peptides and Proteins via Desulfurative C−C Bond Formation (2023)
Journal Article

The site-selective modification of peptides and proteins facilitates the preparation of targeted therapeutic agents and tools to interrogate biochemical pathways. Among the numerous bioconjugation techniques developed to install groups of interest, t...
