The conventional S-alkylation of cysteine relies upon using activated electrophiles. Here we demonstrate high-yielding and selective S-alkylation and S-lipidation of cysteines in unprotected synthetic peptides and proteins by using weak electrophiles and a Zn2+ promoter. Linear or branched iodoalkanes can S-alkylate cysteine in an unprotected 38-residue Myc peptide fragment and in a 91-residue miniprotein Omomyc, thus highlighting selective late-stage synthetic modifications. Metal-assisted cysteine alkylation is also effective for inco
