Key Event Title
Interaction of α-diketones with arginine residues
Short name
The electrophilic α-diketones interact with proteins via direct covalent binding to cellular nucleophiles. The interaction occurs predominantly with the arginine residues of proteins.
The binding of α-diketones with proteins can be measured by LC-MS and 1H- and 13C NMR analysis (Anders 2017, Mathews et al. 2010, Saraiva et al. 2016)
