Application

CA-alkyne is a probe that can be used for labeling cysteines through alkylation. For the corresponding negative control, see CA-nitrile. A method was developed using cysteine-reactive compounds including this one to allow for unbiased analysis of proteomic data in quantitative applications. The method uses light or heavy labeling with the isotopically labelled desthiobiotin azide (isoDTB) tag for mass spectrometry analysis. Analysis then uses the isotopic tandem orthogonal proteolysis activity-based protein profiling (isoTOP-ABPP) workflow.

Cysteine is the most intrinsically nucleophilic amino acid in proteins, where its reactivity is tuned to perform diverse biochemical functions. The absence of a consensus sequence that defines functional cysteines in proteins has hindered their discovery and characterization. Here we
