Bioconjugation is a powerful strategy and tool to realize the pluripotency of proteins and peptides by allowing access to novel biomolecular scaffolds. Methionine, because of its unique thioether functional group with good nucleophilicity, provides a valuable handle for bioconjugation. Herein, we report a simple green approach to develop a new methionine-selective bioconjugation reagent hydroxylamine ester under aqueous conditions with tunable stabilization of adduct aza-sulfonium by a carboxylic acid group, which provides a simple and robust tool for peptide and protein modification.
