โœฆ Synopsis


A procedure is described for radiolabeling proteins in vitro by reductive alkylation. The proteins are treated with [W]formaldehyde in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride, a reducing agent that is stable in aqueous solution at pH 7. The advantage of this procedure is that the reaction can be carried out at neutral pH for extended periods of time and over a wide range of temperatures (O-37ยฐC). Moreover, owing to the flexibility in the reaction conditions afforded by the use of sodium cyanoborohydride, higher incorporation of radiolabel into protein can be attained.

have demonstrated that reductive methylation with labeled formaldehyde and NaCNBH, provides a simple method for specifically labeling the amino groups of proteins using extremely mild reaction conditions. However, cyanide, which is one of the products of the reaction, reduces labeling efficiency by
