✦ Synopsis


The use of several commercially available amine-borane complexes was investigated for the reductive methylation of amino groups of several proteins. An earlier study in our laboratory, using turkey ovomucoid as the model protein, showed that dimethylamine borane is a slightly weaker reducing agent, but a good, less toxic substitute for sodium cyanoborohydride (K.

Pyridine borane has been reported as a superior reagent over a wide pH range, 5-9, for the reductive methylation of amino groups of proteins with formaldehyde [J. C. Cabacungan , A. I. Ahmed , and R. E. Feeney (1982) Anal. Biochem. 124, 272-278]. It has also been reported to reduce tryptophan to dih
