A phthalimidation protocol that follows protein defined parameters

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This work outlines the first phthalimidation protocol suitable for protein labeling and performed in aqueous media at room temperature and neutral pH with no catalyst or co-reagent required. The methodology is suitable for a range of amines and its efficiency was determined with chemoselective and site-selective protein labeling.
