“Sorting out” N‐terminal labeling : The reversibility of transpeptidase reactions makes protein N‐terminal labeling challenging. Depsipeptide substrates for sortase A release alcohol by‐products, which are poor nucleophiles for the reverse reaction, during ligation. Proteins with an unhindered N‐terminal glycine residue can be labeled efficiently with only a minimal excess of the labeling reagent (see scheme).
