Semisynthesis of Proteins by Expressed Protein Ligation

Muir, Tom W.·2003·Annual Review of Biochemistry

Abstract

▪ Abstract Expressed protein ligation (EPL) is a protein engineering approach that allows recombinant and synthetic polypeptides to be chemoselectively and regioselectively joined together. The approach makes the primary structure of most proteins accessible to the tools of synthetic organic chemistry, enabling the covalent structure of proteins to be modified in an unprecedented fashion. The ability to incorporate noncoded amino acids, biophysical probes, and stable isotopes into specific locations within proteins provides research tools to peer into the inner workings of these molecules. In this review I discuss the development of this technology, its broad application to biological systems, and its possible role in the area of proteomics.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
