Selective N-terminal acylation of peptides and proteins with a Gly-His tag sequence

His-tagged proteins can undergo N-terminal acylation as an undesired side-reaction. Here, the authors utilize this to develop a method for highly selective acylation and further modification of peptides and proteins using an optimized His sequence and 4-methoxyphenyl esters as acyl donors.
