Semisynthetic proteins in mechanistic studies: using chemistry to go where nature can't. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The manipulation of the chemical structure of proteins beyond what is feasible with standard genetics, offers a powerful strategy to investigate protein mechanisms. By allowing the incorporation of biophysical probes, unnatural amino acids, and post-translational modifications in proteins, chemistry-driven approaches have greatly contributed to the understanding of the molecular basis of protein function.
