Palladium prompted on-demand cysteine chemistry for the synthesis of challenging and uniquely modified proteins

Cysteine side chains are reactive sites of protein synthesis and modification. Here, the authors show that tuning palladium chemoselectivity allows for selective removal of several cysteine protection groups, and use their method to synthesize challenging protein analogues.
