As they exhibit low toxicity, high functional group tolerance, and stability in biocompatible media, they have been used for the functionalization of biomolecules. Herein, we report recent advances up to June 2021 in peptide and protein modification using hypervalent iodine reagents. Their use as group transfer or oxidizing reagents is discussed in this Minireview, including methods targeting polar, aromatic, or aliphatic amino acids and peptide termini.Chemistry, MultidisciplinaryChemistrybioconjugationhypervalent iodinelate-stage functionalizationpeptidesproteinsdecarboxylative alkynylationcarboxylic-acidsethynyl benziodoxolones-trifluoromethylationphotoredox catalysisnext-generationreagentstherapeuticsthiolsdiversificationtext::journal::journal article::review article
