A cysteine selenosulfide redox switch for protein chemical synthesis

Control of cysteine reactivity is of paramount importance for the synthesis of proteins using native chemical ligation. Here, the authors report a readily cleavable N-selenoethyl group attached to cysteine and apply it to the modular assembly of linear and cyclic polypeptides.
