Abstract:The Cover Feature shows the versatile modern C‐H functionalization approach of peptides towards unnatural derivatives with improved or unusual applications. Similar to the metamorphosis of caterpillars into butterflies, peptides can be transformed into important new structures by site selective modification of different C‐H bonds. Depending on the method, C‐H cleavage at various positions of the amino acid units, can provide an easy access to novel pharmaceuticals and materials, as well as to molecular recogni… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
