Transpeptidases are great for protein labelling, but are largely restricted to acting at protein termini. By mimicking an N-terminal substrate at internal sites, we now show that a plant transpeptidase can be repurposed for targeted lysine acylation. rdcu.be/dISZw

The last two weeks at Malins Lab were amazing! I had great fun exploring fascinating #chemistry on peptides, which also brought back memories of my days as an organic chemist.
