We have shown that thioamides can be incorporated into proteins through semi-synthesis and used as probes to monitor structural changes. To date, our methods have required the presence of a cysteine at the peptide ligation site, which may not be present in the native peptide sequence. Here, we present a strategy for the semi-synthesis of thioproteins using homocysteine as a ligation point with subsequent masking as methionine, making the ligation 'traceless'.
