Native chemical ligation followed by desulfurization is a powerful strategy for the assembly of proteins. Here we describe the development of a high-yielding, one-pot ligation-desulfurization protocol that uses trifluoroethanethiol (TFET) as a novel thiol additive. The synthetic utility of this TFET-enabled methodology is demonstrated by the efficient multi-step one-pot syntheses of two tick-derived proteins, chimadanin and madanin-1, without the need for any intermediary purification.

Post-translational modification of proteins is involved in protein function and higher-order structure. Among such modification, phosphorylation is an important intracellular signal transduction pathway. Many studies on phosphorylated protein analysis using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) have been developed.

The apparent pKa for the active site thiol of human thioltransferase (TTase) is about 3.5, but the pH dependence of TTase-catalyzed rates of glutathione (GSH)-dependent reduction of disulfide substrates displays an inflection point near pH 8.5.
