METHODS, MIXTURES, KITS AND COMPOSITIONS PERTAINING TO ANALYTE DETERMINATION

摘要

Provided herein are labeling reagents for analyte determination in a sample, and methods of manufacturing the labeling reagents. By way of non-limiting example, analytes may include one or more of peptides, proteins, nucleic acid molecules, carbohydrates, lipids, steroids and/or small molecules. Also provided are labeled analytes themselves after one or more labeling reagents binds to an analyte. Analytes may be labeled for determination of the analyte by mass analysis, such as by mass spectrometry. Further provided are compounds that may be used in making the labeling reagents and labeled analytes, such as reporter group compounds. Also provided are kits that include at least one labeling reagent, and may further include or more other reagents, containers, enzymes, buffers, a labeled analyte (e.g., as a standard) and/or instructions. Further examples are also possible.
