Bio-orthogonal reactions provide powerful tools for the life science research, and their discovery as well as development is important in chemical biology. Synthetic molecules can be covalently ligated to natural biomacromolecules at specific sites with high selectivity to achieve diverse goals such as labeling, localization, functionalization and immobilization. Biomimetic transamination reaction is a special protein N-terminal modification orthogonal reaction, which can serve as a supplement to the ligation methods at amino acid residue side chains or protein C-terminus. With several advantages including high efficiency, adaptable applicability, mild operation conditions, and no need for mutation, biomimetic transamination reaction has been broadly utilized in several related realms of protein chemical biology. This review summarizes the development and application of biomimetic transamination reaction for protein modifications.

Key words: biomimetic transamination reaction, pyridoxal phosphate, bio-orthogonal reaction, protein N-terminal modification
