Non-Hydrolyzable RNA-Peptide Conjugates: A Powerful Advance in the Synthesis of Mimics for 3-Peptidyl tRNA Termini

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2009, 48(42), 4056-4060, doi:10.1002/anie.200900939 published on 24.04.2009

Translation of specific small peptides on the ribosome can confer resistance to macrolide antibiotics. To reveal the molecular details of this and related phenomena, stable RNA-peptide conjugates that mimic peptidyl-tRNA would be desirable, especially for ribosome structural biology. A flexible solid-phase synthesis strategy now allows efficient access to these highly requested derivatives without restriction on the RNA and peptide sequences.
