Peptide modification is an important way to change the main chain structure or side chain groups, effectively improving its stability, biocompatibility, selectivity, and drug release characteristics. CD Formulation is one of the global leaders in peptide modification. Our extensive synthesis capabilities and rich experience enable us to provide various peptide modification services, including C-terminal modification, N-terminal modification, PEGylation, post-translational modification, fluorescent labeling, and biotinylation.
Peptide modification refers to chemical changes to peptides (short chains of amino acids) to enhance their properties, stability, or function. Depending on the final intended use, these modifications can be N-terminal modifications, C-terminal modifications, uncommon and unnatural amino acids, biotinylation, cyclization, peptide PEGylation, phosphorylation, prenylation, linkers and spacers, fluorescently labeled peptides, etc. Peptide modification has important application value in biomedicine and drug development. By chemically changing the peptide, its properties and functions can be improved.

In this article, the authors introduce some key strategies for peptide modification and cyclization, including heteroatom coupling (at sulfur, selenium, and nitrogen), decarboxylative coupling (at α-COOH, Asp, and Glu), and C–H functionalization. All of these strategies exploit the unique ability of transition metals as mediators to perform covalent bond formation or photoinduced electron transfer (PET) processes. The figure below highlights representative transition metals, with the dashed lines indicating the metals employed in the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process.
