Abstract:
Herein, a novel and rationally designed ortho-substituted pyridine activator is reported that reacts rapidly and selectively with cysteine thiols. It forms reduction-stable conjugates and induces large pseudocontact shifts, residual dipolar couplings and paramagnetic relaxation enhancement on both ubiquitin S57C and human carbonic anhydrase II S50C constructs under physiological conditions.
