Abstract
Abstract
A label for amino and thiol functionalities of peptides and proteins based on the activated cobaltocinium hexafluorophosphate succinimide ester (CoS) is presented. Despite the known selectivity of a succinimide ester towards amines, CoS also modifies cysteine residues under the same reaction conditions. The derivatized biomolecules were investigated using liquid chromatography with subsequent electrospray-mass spectrometric detection (LC/ESI-MS). In combination with their remarkable stability under physiological conditions, easy handling and good spectroscopic properties, cobaltocinium ions provide all requirements for a powerful labeling reagent. Furthermore, in direct comparison to the isoelectronic well-established ferrocene reagents, the higher redox potential and the chemical stability of the cobaltocinium moiety add to the benefits as a derivatizing agent for bioanalysis.
