Edit: ironically, the last example ("alkylating agent itself"), despite sounding the most absurd, is actually probably the most feasible example to alkylate

The position of the drawn alkyl group seems to imply a bromonium, though, which is decidedly less easy to make.

Living things, on the other hand, conveniently have a bunch of cytosine and N-terminal proteins...
