USE OF ARYLBORONIC ACIDS IN PROTEIN LABELLING

摘要

The present invention relates to the tagging of Histidine in polypeptides with arylboronic acid tagging reagents. The present invention further describes methods and devices to identify proteins in a sample by isolating and identifying Histidine-comprising peptides from one protein sample or a pool of protein samples. The present invention further describes databases of Histidine-comprising peptides from in silico cleaved proteins and their use in the identification of proteins.
