This study reports the ligation-based assembly of eight homogeneously sulfated variants of haemathrin-1 and haemathrin-2. Functional assays revealed a two orders-of-magnitude enhancement in thrombin-inhibitory potency by tyrosine sulfation, thus reinforcing the crucial role of this post-translational modification for the activity of anticoagulant proteins.}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, publisher = {RSC Chemical Biology, 2020, 1, 379}, title = {Chemical synthesis of a haemathrin sulfoprotein library reveals enhanced thrombin inhibition following tyrosine sulfation}, author = {Clayton, Daniel and Kulkarni, Sameer S. and Sayers, Jessica and Dowman, Luke J. and Ripoll Rozada, Jorge and Barbosa Pereira, Pedro José and Payne, Richard J.}, }
