Designing a Light-Induced Glycosylation Reaction for Poststage Synthesis of ADP-2″-Deoxyribosyl Derivatives

Modifications on the hydroxyl groups of ADP-ribosyl units can provide valuable tools for investigating ADP-ribosylation-related molecular interactions, but the chemical syntheses of these compounds are usually difficult due to their inherent complex structures. In this study, we report a poststage synthetic protocol for accessing novel ADP-2″-deoxyribosyl derivatives through designing a light-induced biomimetic reaction, and SPR assays revealed effective binding of ADP-2″-deoxyribosyl peptides to MacroH2A1.1 with a high affinity (KD = 3.75 × 10–6 M).
