Site-specific functionalization of proteins by bioorthogonal modification offers a convenient pathway to create, modify, and study biologically active biopolymers. In this paper the Staudinger reaction of aryl-phosphonites for the chemoselective functionalization of azido-peptides and proteins was probed. Different water-soluble phosphonites with oligoethylene substituents were synthesized and reacted with unprotected azido-containing peptides in aqueous systems at room temperature in high conversions. Finally, the Staudinger-phosphonite reaction was successfully applied to the site-specific modification of the protein calmodulin.

Recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) have been extensively studied for decades as carriers for delivering therapeutic genes. However, designing rAAV vectors with selective tropism for specific cell types and tissues has remained challenging. Here, we introduce a strategy for redirecting rAAV by attaching nanobodies with desired tropism at specific sites, effectively replacing the original tropism.

Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as promising tools in biomedical applications, owing to their inherent physicochemical properties and their ease of functionalization. In all potential applications, the surface functionalization strategy is a key step to ensure that NPs are able to overcome the barriers encountered in physiological media, while introducing specific reactive moieties to enable post-functionalization. Silanization appears as a versatile NP-coating strategy, due to the biocompatibility and stability of silica, thus justifying the need for robust and well controlled silanization protocols.

An efficient method for attachment of a variety of reporter groups to oligonucleotides (ONs) is copper (I) [Cu(I)]-catalyzed Huisgen azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ("click reaction"). However, in the case of ONs with phosphorothioate modifications as internucleosidic linkages (PS-ONs), this conjugation method has to be adjusted to be compatible with the sulfur-containing groups. The method described here is adapted for PS-ONs, utilizes solid-supported ONs, and implements the Cu(I) bromide dimethyl sulfide complex (CuBr × Me S) as a mediator for the click reaction.

In vivo bioavailability and delivery of nucleic acids to the site of action is a severe limitation in oligonucleotide (ON) therapeutics. Equipping the ONs with cell penetrating, homing or endosomal escape peptides can enhance specificity and/or uptake efficiencies. We describe here a general procedure for the preparation of peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates (POCs) on solid support utilizing a novel activated alkyne containing linker which enhances the Cu(I) catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition.
