Microwave irradiation has been proven to be a useful tool in the rapid assembly of racemic unnatural amino acids in only two steps. Additional benefits of this methodology are the commercial availability of the inexpensive starting materials and the high yields and high purities of the final amino acid products.

Recent advancements in Genetic Code Expansion (GCE) have significantly enhanced our understanding of post-translational modifications (PTMs), which are critical for protein regulation. GCE facilitates the precise incorporation of unnatural amino acids (UAAs) at specific sites within proteins of interest (POIs), making it a powerful tool for modulating PTMs in vivo. This review summarizes the various UAAs utilized to directly incorporate PTMs into proteins through GCE, with a focus on their applications in both histone and non-histone PTMs research.

Recently, the use of click chemistry for localization of chemically modified cyanopeptides has been introduced, i.e., taking advantage of promiscuous adenylation (A) domains in non-ribosomal peptide synthesis (NRPS), allowing for the incorporation of clickable non-natural amino acids (non-AAs) into their peptide products.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small molecular peptides widely existing in the innate immunity of organisms, serving as the first line of defense. Natural AMPs possess various biological activities and are difficult to develop drug resistance. However, they are easily broken down by digestive enzymes in the body.

The [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides is traditionally observed as a competitive minor pathway alongside the thermally allowed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Concerted [1,2]-rearrangements are formally forbidden, with these processes believed to proceed through homolytic C-N bond fission of the ylide, followed by radical-radical recombination. The challenges associated with developing a catalytic enantioselective [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides therefore lie in biasing the reaction pathway to favor the [1,2]-reaction product, alongside controlling a stereoselective radical-radical recombination event.

Unnatural chemically modified nucleotide sugars UDP-4-SH-GalNAc was synthesized for the first time from a previously reported Benzyl 2-Amino-glucoypranoside derivative, with a total yield of 18.6%. UDP-4-SH-GalNAc was smaller in size than UDP-GalNAc calculated by Multiwfn, and its binding capability with glycosyltransferase was stronger than that of UDP-GalNAc and glycosyltransferase, which means the unnatural nucleotide sugars is equally well recognized by the enzyme and doped into the sugar chains.
