DNA‐Catalyzed Introduction of Azide at Tyrosine for Peptide Modification

P Wang, SK Silverman - Angewandte Chemie International …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
We show that DNA enzymes (deoxyribozymes) can introduce azide functional groups at
tyrosine residues in peptide substrates. Using in vitro selection, we identified …

Assessing histidine tags for recruiting deoxyribozymes to catalyze peptide and protein modification reactions

CC Chu, SK Silverman - Organic & biomolecular chemistry, 2016 - pubs.rsc.org
We evaluate the ability of hexahistidine (His6) tags on peptide and protein substrates to
recruit deoxyribozymes for modifying those substrates. For two different deoxyribozymes …

Identification of sequence-selective tyrosine kinase deoxyribozymes

SM Walsh, SN Konecki, SK Silverman - Journal of molecular evolution, 2015 - Springer
