Biocompatible macrocyclization between cysteine and 2-cyanopyridine generates stable peptide inhibitors

Peptides featuring an N-terminal cysteine residue and the unnatural amino acid 3-(2-cyano-4-pyridyl)alanine (Cpa) cyclize spontaneously in aqueous solution at neutral pH. Cpa is readily available and easily introduced into peptides using standard solid-phase peptide synthesis. The reaction is orthog...
