Ligand-Directed Site-Selective Cysteine Bioconjugation of the KELCH Domain of KEAP1 with Hypervalent Iodine Reagents Affinity-driven reactions have allowed chemists to perform site-selective modifications of native proteins. By combining the high cysteine chemoselectivity of hypervalent iodine-based ethynylbenziodox...

We just achieved the first site-selective cysteine functionalization with EBX reagents! @jacs.acspublications.org
