Supramolecular chemistry is a promising approach for targeting proteins, utilizing genetic-code expansion and enzyme-mediated ligation to build guest recognition elements. This allows for supramolecular control of protein function and regulation.
Supramolecular chemistry for targeting proteins is of great interest for the development of novel approaches to recognize, isolate and control proteins. Taking advantage of chemical biology approaches, such as genetic-code expansion and enzyme-mediated ligation, guest recognition elements can be built into proteins of interest, allowing supramolecular control of protein function and regulation. In this viewpoint article, we will discuss the methods, applications, limitations, and future perspectives of supramolecular chemistry for targeting proteins in a site-specific manner.
