Few chemical methods exist for the covalent conjugation of two proteins. We report the preparation of site-specific protein-protein conjugates that arise from the sequential cross-coupling of cysteine residues on two different proteins. The method involves the synthesis of stable palladium-protein oxidative addition complexes (Pd-protein OACs), a process that converts nucleophilic cysteine residues into an electrophilic S-aryl-Pd-X unit by taking advantage of an intramolecular oxidative addition ...[more]
