  • Patent number: 11155530
    Abstract: Chemoselective conjugation is achieved through redox reactivity by reacting an N-transfer oxidant with a thioether substrate in a redox reaction in an aqueous environment to form a conjugation product. In embodiments, Redox-Activated Chemical Tagging (ReACT) strategies for methionine-based protein functionalization. Oxaziridine (Ox) compounds serve as oxidant-mediated reagents for direct functionalization by converting methionine to the corresponding sulfimide conjugation product.
    Type: Grant
