Targeting the mRNA cap by a chemo‐enzymatic approach opens up new possibilities in mRNA isolation and visualization. In their Communication on page 7874 ff. A. Rentmeister and co‐workers present a novel two‐step approach for the regiospecific labeling of the m 7 G cap, a hallmark of eukaryotic mRNAs. They make use of a trimethylguanosine variant capable of transferring reactive groups from AdoMet analogues to the cap. The transferred residues are amenable to click reactions.
