Stable compounds with two fused rings were formed upon reaction with 1,2-aminothiols (such as N-terminal cysteines in peptides). Other thiols gave reversibly Michael-type adducts that were in equilibrium with the starting materials. This differential reactivity allows differently placed cysteines to be distinguished and has been exploited to prepare bioconjugates incorporating two or three different moieties.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Chemical Society , 2016BioquímicaReaccions químiquesCisteïnaBiochemistryChemical reactionsCysteineSelective derivatization of N-terminal cysteines using cyclopentenedionesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6638462016-10-20info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess27610544
