<strong>Biotinylation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peptides</strong>/<strong>Proteins</strong> <strong>using</strong> <strong>Biocytin</strong> <strong>Hydrazide</strong> J. Chin. Chem. Soc., Vol. 54, No. 2, 2007 545<br />

It is noted that the cross-linking ion between two insulins<br />

and one adipic dihydrazide was detected at m/z 11609 (data<br />

not shown). Results indicate that it is the hydrazide functional<br />

group <strong>of</strong> the biotinylated reagents that is responsible<br />

for the biotinylation reaction. Compared to the traditional<br />

biotinylation reagents such as N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)biotin<br />

(NH2 reactive), maleimides-biotin (SH reactive),<br />

and carbodiimides-biotin (COOH reactive), biocytin hydrazide<br />

only requires a simple one-step chemical reaction<br />

without a solubility problem to biotinylated peptides/proteins.<br />

(IV b) BSA at 65 C for 19 h in PBS with 1<br />

M biocytin hydrazide. Protein solution (1<br />

g/l) was processed with Zip-Tip packed with<br />

C4 resin before MALDI-TOF MS. Sinapinic<br />

acid was used as the matrix. Contaminant is<br />

marked by an asterisk.<br />

TFA at 65 C. Within 4 h <strong>of</strong> incubation, up to two biocytin<br />

hydrazide molecules are attached to both insulin and lysozyme.<br />

With longer incubation time, more biocytin hydrazide<br />

molecules attach to both insulin and lysozyme. After<br />

24 h <strong>of</strong> incubation, up to 6 biocytin hydrazide molecules attach<br />

to both insulin and lysozyme. This data indicates that<br />
