Modification of N-terminal α-amine of proteins via biomimetic ortho-quinone-mediated oxidation

Methods for selective modification of the N-terminus of proteins are of high interest, but mostly require specific amino acid residues. Here, the authors report a selective and fast method for N-terminal modification of proteins based on quinone-mediated oxidation of the alpha-amine to aldehyde or k...
