A Two-Step Synthesis of Covalent Genetically Encoded Libraries of Peptide-Derived Macrocycles Enables the Use of Electrophiles with Diverse Reactivity

Abstract Genetically encoded libraries of peptide-derived macrocycles containing electrophile “warheads” (cGELs) can be used to identify potent and selective covalent ligands for protein targets. Such cGELs are synthesized either by incorporation of unnatural amino acids that dis...
