  1. aConversion of peptides 212 (1 mM) after treatment with 25 equiv. of GDL (1) in 200 mM HEPES buffer at pH 7.5 at room temperature for 2 h, as determined by LC–MS (UV, 215 nm). Standard deviations are based on triplicate measurements. The His acylation tags and compound numbers are indicated in bold
