Abstract
Herein we describe a synthetically simple strategy for increasing the lifetime of unstructured peptides in cytosolic environment via dimerization at the N-terminus to block threading into the catalytic cleft of cytosolic proteases. We establish this approach with kinase substrates, allowing for phosphorylation in cells as a demonstration of protease resistance.
