Lysine epsilon-amino groups of human factor H were selectively converted to guanidino groups by treatment with 0.1 M O-methylisourea at pH 10.4. Guanidination resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in the capacity of the regulatory protein to accelerate decay dissociation of

Several dicarbonyl compounds (glyoxal, substituted glyoxals, diacetyl and 1, 2-cyclohexanedione) had a marked stabilizing effect on the heat stability of milk, especially in the presence of urea. These reagents are believed to modify arginine more or less specifically suggesting an

Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 18(2), 201-207 (2006-10-28)
Development of a quantification method based on isotopic variants of O-methyl isourea (OMIU) in conjunction with reversed-phase (RP) liquid chromatography (LC) electrospray mass spectrometry is described for determining the relative quantification of tau-related peptides Ac-VQIVXK-NH2. Extracted ion chromatograms of the

The effect of modification of amino groups on RTX-III induced lethality in mice has been studied. The toxicity was not affected by guanidination of one or two lysine residues with O-methylisourea, but guanidination of three or four lysine residues decreased
