- Title
Organometallic chemical biology: an organometallic approach to bioconjugation.
- Authors
Vinogradova, Ekaterina V.
- Abstract
This review summarizes the history and recent developments of the field of organometallic chemical biology with a particular emphasis on the development of novel bioconjugation approaches. Over the years, numerous transformations have emerged for biomolecule modification with the use of organometallic reagents; these include [3 + 2] cycloadditions, C-C, C-S, C-N, and C-O bond forming processes, as well as metal-mediated deprotection ("decaging") reactions. These conceptually new additions to the chemical biology toolkit highlight the potential of organometallic chemistry to make a significant impact in the field of chemical biology by providing further opportunities for the development of chemoselective, site-specific and spatially resolved methods for biomolecule structure and function manipulation. Examples of these transformations, as well as existing challenges and future prospects of this rapidly developing field are highlighted in this review.
