Formation of a Flavin-Linked Peptide

In a previous study, we showed that formylmethylflavin (FMF) can bind to cysteine. In this study, FMF was reacted with native peptides (CG and CKLVFF) containing an N-terminal cysteine. The formation of flavin-CG and flavin-CKLVFF was confirmed using HPLC and ESI-MS. Storage of flavin-CKLVFF in DMSO...

Descripción
Sumario:In a previous study, we showed that formylmethylflavin (FMF) can bind to cysteine. In this study, FMF was reacted with native peptides (CG and CKLVFF) containing an N-terminal cysteine. The formation of flavin-CG and flavin-CKLVFF was confirmed using HPLC and ESI-MS. Storage of flavin-CKLVFF in DMSO at −30 °C for 7 days resulted in no detectable deposition. In contrast, flavin-CKLVFF formed deposits when stored in water at −30 °C for 1 day, but no deposit was observed in the aqueous solution of flavin-CKLVFF after 7 days storage in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100.
