Intrinsic bioconjugation for site-specific protein PEGylation at N-terminal serine

摘要

Recently developed chemical ligation protocols were elaborated for rapid N-terminal protein PEGylation. We introduce a PEG-salicylaldehyde ester and demonstrate its site-specific ligation to the N-terminus of the RNase S protein and to the therapeutic polypeptide PTH (1-34).
