The utility of tricyclic oxygen-heterocycles as a reagent for the thiol-selective modification toward bioconjugation was demonstrated by the use of l-cysteine, homocysteine, captopril, and glutathione as a nucleophile having a thiol group. These trapping reactions proceeded under the mild and aqueous reaction conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
