Abstract

A new bio-conjugation reaction for site selective modification of proteins and peptides with phosphorescent iridium(iii) complexes has been developed; the Ir(iii)-modified proteins and peptides display long emission lifetimes and large Stoke shifts that can be used for bio-imaging studies.
