Abstract

Here we propose a new amino-reactive pyrilium dye for the conjugation with peptides through N-terminal and N-ε-lysine's aminogroups. The reactivity of Cyan 39 towards eleven most interesting aminoacids has been investigated in triethylammonium acetate and sodium carbonate-bicarbonate buffers. The conjugation with 72-aminoacid model peptide has been carried out successfully.
