Site-selective and inducible acylation of thrombin using aptamer-catalyst conjugates

Abstract

Two acyl-transfer catalysts were conjugated to thrombin-binding DNA aptamers to acylate thrombin. Modification occurred site-selectively on Lys (≫Ser) residues proximal to the respective aptamer–thrombin interface, was selective for thrombin in the presence of other proteins, and the activity of both DNA-catalysts could be controlled by an external trigger.
