摘要: Native chemical ligation (NCL) is a chemoselective reaction that joins synthetic or recombinant peptide and protein fragments through native bond. Advances in generating the required components for NCL have enabled homogeneous incorporation of unnatural amino acids, fluorescent probes, other modifications into domains full-length proteins. The resulting semisynthetic proteins, which can be made multi-milligram quantities, may used biophysical biochemical studies to address challenging biological problems not accessible with traditional methods.
