Abstract
Are aliphatic alkynes truly bioorthogonal? In an attempt to prepare clickable ubiquitin derivatives bearing a C-terminal propargyl amide, two groups have now independently discovered propargylamides to be irreversible inhibitors of cysteine proteases. The unexpected findings demonstrate the unexpected reactivity of alkynes in protein-templated reactions and introduce a novel class of activity-based protein probes.
