The cysteinyl residues in proteins had been S-2-aminoethylated with ethylenimine quantitatively. However, ethylenimine is now listed as a carcinogen and is no longer commercially available. A method of converting cysteinyl residues to S-2-aminoethyl derivatives quantitatively using 2-bromoethylamine under mild conditions was developed here.
蛋白质中的半胱氨酰残基已被乙烯亚胺定量地S-2-氨乙基化。然而,乙烯亚胺现在被列为致癌物,已不再商业化供应。本文开发了一种在温和条件下使用2-溴乙胺将半胱氨酰残基定量转化为S-2-氨乙基衍生物的方法。
