Abstract

Utilizing the interactions between tryptophan, methyl viologen and cucurbit[8]uril, we found that the distance between the targeted peptides/protein and the reactive peptide was shortened, which facilitated the Michael addition reaction between cysteine and dehydroalanine. The highest acceleration was observed on cysteines with suitable pK<subscript>a</subscript> and spatial location to tryptophan, suggesting that our system can be used for regioselective cysteine modification.
