Selective pH-Responsive Conjugation between a Pair of De Novo Discovered Peptides

There is a demand for site-selective peptide/protein conjugation chemistry that is fully reversible in a stimulus-responsive manner. The contemporary methods for site-selective protein modification enable the preparation of homogeneous protein-small molecule conjugates, which are indispensable for drug delivery and chemical biology purposes, but such chemistries are usually irreversible. In contrast, the existing reversible protein labeling techniques are generally not site-selective. Here, we report an mRNA display-enabled
