Abstract
Tryptophan, commonly regarded as buried within the interior cores of proteins to maintain secondary structures, is now being recognized for its significant contributions to protein functionality. However, investigating functional tryptophan-involved interactions across the proteome and manipulating these interactions in live cells are considerable challenges. In this In Focus article, we summarize emerging advances in the field, describing innovative chemistries that leverage distinctive biochemical properties of the indole moiety for targeting and functionally manipulating tryptophan interactions.
期刊介绍：
ACS Chemical Biology provides an international forum for the rapid communication of research that broadly embraces the interface between chemistry and biology.
The journal also serves as a forum to facilitate the communication between biologists and chemists that will translate into new research opportunities and discoveries. Results will be published in which molecular reasoning has been used to probe questions through in vitro investigations, cell biological methods, or organismic studies.
We welcome mechanistic studies on proteins, nucleic acids, sugars, lipids, and nonbiological polymers. The journal serves a large scientific community, exploring cellular function from both chemical and biological perspectives. It is understood that submitted work is based upon original results and has not been published previously.
